In a spectacular celebration of resilience, empowerment, and shared stories, AusIMM proudly presents Jelena Dokic as the headline speaker for this Brisbane's International Women's Day lunch event at the Brisbane Convention Centre on Tuesday, 5 March 2024.

A former World #4 tennis player, bestselling author, commentator, and advocate for diversity and inclusion, Jelena is set to share her inspiring personal story, an unforgettable journey through her triumphs and challenges both on and off the court.

Victim. Survivor. Thriver.

Jelena Dokic's life story is a testament to the power of resilience. Her passion for tennis emerged early, and by 16, she achieved a stunning victory over the then World #1, Martina Hingis. However, behind the scenes, she grappled with intense struggles, from poverty and racism to the physical and emotional abuse she endured for over two decades from her father.

Her bestselling autobiography, "Unbreakable," delves into the highs and lows of her life, offering readers a raw and honest account of her journey.

AusIMM's Brisbane event provides a unique opportunity to hear Jelena share her story in person, adding a personal touch to the pages of her inspiring book.

Jelena's Message

❝

Diversity and inclusion are the cornerstones of progress and empathy. Inclusion and diversity save lives by sharing our stories and providing a safe space and environment.

As we celebrate International Women’s Day under the theme of #DrivingPositiveChangeTogether, it's crucial to recognise that embracing diversity in all its forms is not just beneficial but imperative. Each unique perspective, voice, and experience adds a layer of richness to our collective narrative, propelling us forward towards a more equitable and inclusive society. By championing diversity and inclusion, we unlock the full potential of humanity, fostering innovation, understanding, and solidarity.

Together, united in our commitment to inclusivity, we can drive transformative change, creating a world where every individual is celebrated, empowered, and valued. Let's harness the power of diversity to drive positive change and build a future where equality reigns supreme.

– Jelena Dokic, 2024
