OUR OCTOBER SPEAKER IS KIMBERLEY FORD
It's NEVER Too Late to KREATE the life you want
Kimberley Ford is the founder of video & social agency KOLLAB KREATE. An actress-turned-director who began her career as an accountant, she boldly quit accounting to attend drama school and, defying conventional timelines, returned to university at 38 to study filmmaking before launching her agency. Her journey of resilience and reinvention proves: It's NEVER Too Late to KREATE the life you want
Commitment to Inclusion
At Aura Networking, we are proud to be a welcoming and inclusive community for all women — including trans women.
In light of recent legal developments, we want to clearly affirm that trans women are valued and respected members of our network. We stand for kindness, fairness, and dignity for all, and we actively oppose discrimination in any form.
We are reviewing our community guidelines to make our commitment to inclusivity even more explicit, and we’ll continue to foster spaces where every member feels safe, seen, and supported.
If you have concerns or ideas, please reach out — we’re here to listen and grow together.
Aura remains a place where all women can thrive.
