Anna Robb — Emergency Decision Making

It’s our worst nightmare as parents and something we, unfortunately, have to ask ourselves — what would you do when faced with an emergency?

Jen Flowers — On Lying

Who better to speak at TEDxTinHauWomen than the former chair herself, Jen Flowers. Engaging with a topic all Mamas can relate to, lying. Whether that’s a “harmless” little white lie in passing, to mistruths that have life-altering consequences, there’s no denying that at times, we’ve all had something to hide.  Born and raised in Hong Kong, Jen shines a light on the lies perpetuated by women in the city and more importantly, why we do it!

Irene Cheng — On Plastic Fantastic

It’s no secret that plastic waste is a problem and when it comes to going green here in Hong Kong it certainly can feel like fighting an uphill battle. Enter, Irene Cheng, one inspirational Mama! In 2019, she set a highly creative challenge — to create a public bench made entirely from plastic waste collected from the Sha Tin community. Hear from this sustainability advocate as she suggests ways to ensure that more plastic waste be upcycled and in turn, encourage Hong Kongers to embrace recycling.
