Courageous Girls proudly presents a unique family friendly comedy fundraiser from its founders!
‘Mt Everest Diaries’, is a comedy special by climber turned comedian Shailee Basnet where she brings to you the funny behind the scenes from Everest expedition. Climbing the highest peak in the world involves a lot of courage, motivation and may be an awkward mountain poop story or two. Shailee is the leader of the ‘Seven Summits Women Team’, word’s first female group to scale the 7 Summits. She currently leads a program in Nepal to train young survivors of girl trafficking and abuse.
Illustrious advocate/writer/solo performer Irma Herrera will open the session in a conversation with inspiration climber Silvia Vasquez Lavado. Silvia, a survivor of child sexual abuse, is the first openly gay female to scale the 7 Summits. Her memoir ‘In the Shadow of the Mountain’ is receiving rave reviews and all set to become a Hollywood movie starring Selena Gomez.
Shailee and Silvia are co-founders of Courageous Girls. Catch these rising super stars and a line up of the funniest stand-up comics from San Francisco at the prestigious Sydney Goldstein Theater, City Arts & Lecture on Saturday, 8th October!

Healing Through Adventure
Courageous Girls is all about letting mother nature heal us from inside out. Silvia experienced healing in the laps of Everest. Shailee and Maya discovered themselves in the mountains. Later, many survivor sisters have been able to transform their lives, thanks to the powerful journey of adventure both external and internal!
From successful artists, corporate professionals to cancer survivors, we have been able to share the healing with many sisters through these adventures. After all, we all need a journey to go within!
Join us in our next Himalayan adventure. Your participation will not only grant you a once in a life time experience, but also empower a young woman! Watch this space for trip announcements.
Healing is not a timed race. It takes time to nurture, to become whole again and it takes patience. As a famous African proverb states: “If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
Join our efforts by getting involved in our various programs.
