Souzi has been involved with many events with a focus on women and girls’ empowerment which led her to write and record an album of all original songs with a message: ‘Rise Up!’ Souzi has written a cabaret show currently playing at The Adelaide Fringe Festival. ‘Good Girl/Bad Girl’ is her story of growing up the daughter of Greek Macedonian migrants, navigating ethnic taboos, hoping to be seen as a ‘good girl’. She breaks free to discover cultural expectations are not the only persistent bumps on the road to fulfilment.
