ALEX AND ANI hosted its second Talk Series in Dublin, Ireland on June 11, 2015 at The Dean Hotel. Through the Talk Series, we empower women to relish what is unique and authentic about themselves, encouraging them to make their mark on the world.

Social entrepreneur, Caroline Casey, spoke last year and was invited to be the MC of the second installation of the series. Suffering from legal blindness since childhood, her speaking engagements raise funds and awareness for Sight Savers, an organization committed to eliminating avoidable blindness and promoting equal opportunities for the visually impaired.

Joining Caroline at the Talk Series were two of the most inspiring Irish influencers: broadcaster Louise McSharry and blogger Sinéad Burke. McSharry is one of the leading broadcasters of 2FM. Due to a cancer diagnosis last year, she opted to take a break from her career and highlight the challenges faced by those battling the disease. While she fought her battle with cancer, she shared how she was coping with treatment in various publications. Sinéad Burke runs an award-winning fashion and style blog. She is also an ISPCC anti-bullying ambassador. Burke shared her experience overcoming obstacles in her life.
Over 120 people joined us at the event including readers from Image.ie, Irish press, media and bloggers! #TalkSeries was trending at number 1 in Ireland throughout the day.
Thank you to our terrific Ireland Brand Manager, Yvonne Ellard, for putting this wonderful and inspiring event together. We look forward to our third Talk Series that will take place later this year!
