1) THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS?

Ah so many things!! I got fired from the job that I thought that I needed. I bought my first ever home…a barge!!

2) THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS?

I have been going more into debt, as I work to make Global Girl Project sustainable and impactful as an organisation.

3) YOUR BIGGEST WISH FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?

To be able to live through my work as the Founding Director of Global Girl Project, by creating sustainable funding. To have what I need, as well as what I want.

4) YOUR BIGGEST WORRY FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?

That I won’t have the time to be able to give myself fully to my work with Global Girl Project. That I continue to get pulled in too many different directions that pull me away from the work that needs to be done to have true global impact.

5) A CONTEMPORARY WOMAN YOU CURRENTLY ADMIRE?

Oprah Winfrey...of course!! I know everyone does, but she truly is living her best and most impactful life and creating change with whatever she touches.

6) A ONE-SENTENCE MESSAGE TO OTHER WOMEN?

Whatever dream, idea, aspiration that you are sitting on and doing nothing about…do it, stand up, take action and make your dream real.
