GrowthZone AI featured in the Shields Gazette after #NotAllWomenWearCapes event

We were proud to see GrowthZone AI and our #NotAllWomenWearCapes International Women's Day event featured in the Shields Gazette following a brilliant morning of conversation, community and real stories in South Shields.

The event brought together women from across the North East to share experiences, support one another and have honest conversations around business, life, confidence and change.

#NotAllWomenWearCapes was created to celebrate real women, real stories and real life — and it meant a lot to see the event highlighted by the Shields Gazette.

The article focused on the importance of creating supportive spaces where women can connect, learn from each other and feel encouraged to move forward in business and life.

Kaye Nicholson, founder of GrowthZone AI, believes events like this matter because people often need practical support, honest conversations and community just as much as they need information.

“If AI talk or business spaces make people feel behind, overwhelmed or excluded, then we need to change the way we have those conversations. Real support starts with making people feel included.”
