With a background in events and business development, I discovered the Zahra Foundation during my previous role. The alignment of values was immediate. As an advocate for collaboration and knowledge-sharing, I recognized this as the perfect opportunity to leverage my skills in bringing people together to support women and drive meaningful change. My passion lies in fostering partnerships that create tangible impact in the lives of women and their children. Through strategic events and community engagement, I am committed to empowering women on their recovery journey.

Grier Neilson | Founder, Bohemian Ekko
I have more than 30 years of industry experience spanning beauty, hair, makeup, body painting, editorial, film, TV, wardrobe and photography.
In 2022, whilst doing a workshop I came to realise that women aged 50 plus are the least photographed demographic. As I was coming up to celebrating my own 50th I felt a resonance and immediate desire change that narrative. As if the universe sang in agreement, each aspect aligned to foster this vision and bring about Flock50.
I have raised two wonderful children as a single mumma, wrestled with dyslexia and at times, felt a stifling absence of self-love and acceptance. I know what it is to disappear from the photos and images that capture the significant moments in our lives as women and I am passionate about changing that dynamic. I am a tender and fierce woman of many adventures, curiosities and creativity. I am a lover of life; seeking and creating positivity in all I do. As an empath, I’m a joyful freedom fighter; and someone who loves to straighten other women’s crowns. I work and coach woman of all ages through my photographic experience, Flock50 is apassion and now annual project. I have so much passion about helping woman thrive and see their own beauty.
