Entrepreneurship

Authenticity Is The Blueprint

Sasha Kutabah Sarago knows the challenges of turning frustration into inspiration. In 2011, Sasha launched Ascension - Australia’s first digital lifestyle platform for women of colour. Stepping into the world of entrepreneurship without a blueprint, Sasha shares her start-up journey, taking you behind the scenes: how to turn passion into solutions, having the audacity to take up space and creating a business that evolves with you.

Set Your Pace. Win Your Race

Is the story you're telling yourself letting someone else set the pace in your life or business? We can get swept up in the day-to-day operations of our business or simply trying to balance our sense of self, family and relationships.

The stories we tell ourselves profoundly impact what goals we create and the pace we set to achieve them. But if they are not authentic and do not serve us, why do we possess them?

 

Diversity & Inclusion

"Sasha's impact within our lululemon IDEA (Inclusion Diversity Equity & Action) Taskforce meet was powerful to say the least. Having heard her experiences brought to light all the things we can do to show up more powerfully inclusive as a brand.”

 Ruhee Meghani, AU/NZ IDEA Taskforce | Lululemon

“I doubt there is anyone more qualified to share the wealth of knowledge Sasha brings to the topic of de-colonising beauty and her passion for representing women of colour in fashion & media is infectious. She has inspired me to think outside the box and look at things in a different way.“

Emma DiGiacomo, Chief Marketing Officer | Work Club Global

 

Lifestyle & Wellbeing

Gigorou: It’s time to reclaim beauty. First Nations wisdom and womanhood.

In a time where the patriarchy obstructs women from the divine feminine and sexism, racism and ageism violate our sovereignty. Gigorou invites us to explore the interconnectedness of Aboriginal culture to resolve our relationship with beauty.

Are you ready to embrace your gigorou?

Inspiring Storytelling

TEDx Sydney 2020: The (de)colonising of beauty

Beauty is about more than the body you inhabit -- it's a way of being that goes beyond genetics or societal ideals. Aboriginal writer and former model Sasha Sarago invites you to decolonise beauty, moving away from the monolithic Eurocentric archetype and towards a more essential, authentic understanding of self that belongs to everyone.

Everyday sexism

"Sexism affects women of colour in a way that is quite distinct." Sasha Kutabah Sarago.
