Antoinette Lattouf and Grace Tame: Women Who Win

Grace Tame is a survivor-advocate, bestselling author, columnist, and ultra-marathon runner. Named 2021 Australian of the Year, she became a national voice for survivors of child sexual abuse after successfully overturning Tasmania’s gag laws, becoming the first female survivor in the state to speak out under her own name. She is the founder of the Grace Tame Foundation, a not-for-profit driving national initiatives to prevent, disrupt and respond to child sexual abuse.

Her bestselling memoir, The Ninth Life of a Diamond Miner, was shortlisted for three Australian Book Industry Awards and has cemented her place as a candid and powerful storyteller. Grace is also a regular columnist for The Monthly and The Saturday Paper, where she explores themes of justice, neurodiversity, and social reform.

Tasneem Chopra OAM is an acclaimed keynote speaker, MC and Cultural consultant whose work champions inclusion, leadership and social change. With over 500 clients across the globe, Tasneem is sought after for her signature wit, warmth and captivating stage presence. She has charmed audiences at AGM’s, flagship Keynotes, conferences, writers festivals, event launches and more. A published writer, TEDx presenter and media commentator featured on the ABC, SBS and BBC, Tasneem cohosts the podcast Colour Outside the Lines, is the inaugural Ambassador for Women of Colour Australia and a former Anti Racism Champion with the Australian Human Rights Commission.

Antoinette Lattouf is an award winning journalist, presenter, author and human rights advocate whose surname has now become a verb - Lattoufed: to be sacked or silenced and standing your ground. Her landmark win, Lattouf v ABC, became a flashpoint in debates about free speech, employee rights, institutional cowardice, and what happens when a journalist speaks truth to (media) power.

She’s the co-founder of independent media company Ette Media, a TEDx speaker, and a regular fixture on lists like the AFR’s 100 Women of Influence and Marie Claire's Women of The Year. Her first book, How to Lose Friends and Influence White People, somehow won her friends. Her second - Women Who Win - an exploration of women who saw the rulebook, chuckled and used it as a coaster (out April 2026).

Antoinette’s work spans commercial and public broadcasting, boardrooms, courtrooms, and the occasional Murdoch media pile-on. And no, she’s not done yet.
