Christina Nicolaides is proud to present Extraordinary Balls

I met Hattie Hassan and Mica May through stepping up and joining XL. XL is the world’s leading entrepreneur and social enterprise network. Extraordinary Balls is Hattie’s creation and is her vision to raise money for charity and have a ball doing it.

This year’s Extraordinary Ball is a global one. One ball in eight cities around the globe for one cause. Proceeds from the event will go to The Hunger Project in India and the target is $250,000.

It was a real privilege to be asked to get involved and present the Extraordinary Balls vision. At Gencia, producing videos for our clients’ and video specifically the Internet is second nature and something we do a lot of however I had never been asked to star in my own video before.

I had a 10 minute slot to get it right and a very quick delivery deadline. I have an amazing team at Gencia and everyone got behind me to turn the video around in 3 days.

The next stage of our involvement with Extraordinary Balls is to tell people about the ball which I am really looking forward to. I will let you know more about this over the coming weeks.

On the 24^th May, I presented the Fusion Awards 2008 which is the Asian Fashion Awards.

The evening was split into two - what the local fashion houses had to offer and rewarding local businesses for what they had achieved this year. It was great to see 350 local businesses doing well and being recognised within the North West.
