Our performer line-up:

Team 20s: Asha Clementi is a gender equality advocate creating access and opportunity for young women. In 2018, she attended the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, an experience that inspired her to found Girls Run The World – a program that encourages young women to engage in diplomacy. In 2022, she was named the ACT Young Woman of the Year and one of the 40 Under 40 Most Influential Asian-Australians.

Team 30s: Velma Vouloir is a nationally award-winning cabaret/burlesque artist, teacher, historian, writer, model and solo parent. Velma also hosts the award-winning podcast Cntroversy, which explores the history of eroticism in art, pop culture and society.

Team 40s: Erika Cramer, also known as the Queen of Confidence, is an award-winning coach, international speaker and author, empowering individuals worldwide to create confidence and transform their lives. Her award-winning podcast The Confidence Chronicles has over 3 million downloads. Erika's story of recovering from childhood and adult trauma is a testament to the power of resilience and healing, showing that one can overcome any challenge and emerge stronger than before.

Team 50s: Nicky Barry is a standup comedian from Naarm/Melbourne. She’s also a storyteller par excellence, fulltime goddess and mother to four wonderful kidults. Nicky has worked for many years in projects supporting marginalised communities. She is a founding member of the Comedy Women’s Association and a passionate practitioner of wanton misbehaviour.

Team 60s: Annie de Monchaux is a writer and former nurse, mural artist and Hollywood scriptwriter. Her first novel, Audrey's Gone AWOL, was published by Ultimo Press earlier this year. She is also the author of Cray Tales, which was shortlisted for the Western Australia Premier's Award. She has three children, one husband, one dog and one (bad-tempered) cat and is currently writing her second novel.

Team 70s: Renata Singer’s most recent book is Older & Bolder: Life after 60, a rallying cry to live audaciously in the last third of your life. She is doing her very best to live up to her own advice. She is on the board of the Kadimah Jewish Cultural Centre and, along with Marion Webster, founded the organisation Fitted for Work.

Generation Women is an award-winning cross-generational storytelling night founded in New York in 2017, Sydney in 2018, and Melbourne in 2020. Each month, six women of note read an original piece on a theme. Of those women, one is in her 20s, her 30s, her 40s, her 50s, her 60s, and her 70s+.
