THIS IS NOT A VANITY
MIC MOMENT

THIS IS A LAUNCHPAD MOMENT

Big Feminine Energy
X SISTALAND

Your first keynote doesn’t need permission.

It needs a stage

You have something important to say.

Maybe you’ve been sitting on it for years. Maybe you’ve been shaping it quietly, waiting for the “right” moment, the right invite, the right room. But the truth is, the industry often gives stages to people who already have them.

We’re changing that.

This is not a vanity mic moment

★

It’s a launchpad for women and underrepresented creatives who have something meaningful to say

★

and are ready to do the work to say it well

We strongly encourage applications from women and underrepresented creatives who may not traditionally see themselves represented on stages, including working-class creatives, neurodivergent creatives, caregivers, disabled creatives, LGBTQIA+ creatives, and those outside traditional industry networks.

This is for you if…

  • You’ve never had a keynote opportunity before, but you know you’re ready.

  • You’re tired of watching less qualified people get handed the mic.

  • You have a perspective, story, lesson, or idea the industry needs to hear.

  • You want your first, or best stage moment captured professionally.

  • You’re ready to be visible, not performatively, but properly.

This is not for you if…

You’re looking for a quick vanity moment.

The BFE Stage is for people who want to build something real, take their message seriously, and show up with intention.

Add-on ticket: £99

Available only to SISTALAND UK Festival ticket holders. Big Feminine Energy Special is part of Sistaland UK Festival, 10–12 July 2026. The BFE Stage is produced by Upgrading Women and hosted by Rebecca Leppard.

MEET REBECCA

  • "I went to Rebecca’s workshop today and had to come here and rave about it! She gave us so many ideas and practical suggestions. Rebecca is extremely knowledgeable, generous, warm and funny. I felt in very safe hands, even when being vulnerable about my own challenges. Oh, and the cost of the workshop is a tiny fraction of the value she delivers."

    — Denise C. Coach, London

  • "They are very fun to work with and they really helped me get out of my comfort zone and it resulted in us achieving new heights."

    — Arjun M. Engineer, San Francisco

  • "Rebecca offered some helpful and candid advice and related her experience in marketing to practical ideas and strategies tailored to my business."
