Empowering Ethnic Minority Women To Rise And Lift Others
Adelphe Community Outreach
Adelphe is a sisterhood dedicated to empowering ethnic minority women to thrive, connect, and uplift one another. Founded in 2020, Adelphe bridges the gaps women often face—whether adjusting to a new place, striving for visibility, or seeking a true sense of belonging. We know that ethnic minority women often face unique barriers that hold them back from realising dreams, whether in business, career growth, or simply feeling seen.
OUR HISTORY
Our BEGINNING
IN JANUARY 2020
Adelphe held its inaugural event — a vision board party that marked the beginning of our journey. This gathering brought together women from diverse backgrounds to envision and share their aspirations. This initial event symbolised our commitment to helping women visualize their potential and take tangible steps toward realizing their dreams, setting the stage for all Adelphe's future initiatives.
