Girls Night In
At Pamodzi, we believe storytelling can change lives.
Girls Night In is a storytelling event curated for young women and girls, to building confidence, spark imagination, and inspire.
Roni (Edwards-Wilson) and Shamila Dhana host the event, holding authentic and courageous conversations with local inspirational women who have faced challenges, emerged stronger and are in a beautiful position to role model that strength to the next generation.
Celebrating Cultural Diversity – Black History Month
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to celebrating inspirational stories and amplifying diverse voices. We honour the achievements, heritage, and lived experiences of Black communities while fostering genuine community engagement through creative projects, collaborative initiatives, and inclusive events.
We empower individuals, groups, and organisations across Portsmouth and beyond by creating spaces where stories can be shared, connections can be built, and creativity can flourish. Through storytelling, art, performance, and partnership, we support and uplift voices that deserve to be heard.
By championing cultural diversity and encouraging collaboration, we aim to create a lasting impact—strengthening community ties, inspiring future generations, and ensuring that the celebration of Black history, identity, and culture extends far beyond a single month.
Supporting Local Organisations – Haven Women’s Drop in center
Haven is the first ever female drop-in referral-only service for women in Portsmouth who have experienced gender-based violence and Pamodzi was honoured to have Haven founders attend the award event and introduce us to some of the warrior Queens that they work with. Have was co-founded by Portsmouth City of Sanctuary (PCoS), Harbour Church -VISTA, SPA 61 projects, and The Medaille Trust’s Moving-On Project.
HAVEN has supported over 250 women since opening its doors in May 2021. The group provides a safe, confidential space for women, who are treated to a lovely brunch and activities such as creative workshops.
