Growing up I wanted to become a Chemical Engineer, an Investment Banker, a Model, a Real Estate Inve

Growing up I wanted to become a Chemical Engineer, an Investment Banker, a Model, a Real Estate Investor, a Fashion Icon, a Millionaire, a Wife and a Mum.

I wanted to become so many things but the question was ‘did I believe that I could become all these things?’…..
The answer to that question at so many points in my life was ‘NO’.

Growing up there was a lack of representation of women who looked like me. Actually there was a lack of representation of women in general. Although I am proud that things are changing for the better, I still walk in to meetings, places and appointments as the only woman of colour or the only woman full stop.

Today I am proud to say that I have achieved 78% of the things I wanted to become when I was a child.

Feminism is about empowering women of all ages, sizes, races and religions to become everything they have ever dreamed of becoming. Feminism is about encouraging women to stand firm in their decisions, goals and beliefs.
Feminism is about the entire world seeing woman as equals and respecting their decisions.
But most importantly…..for me, feminism is about showing little girls who dream of becoming something, that there are women out there who look just like them, who are doing what they want to do.
Feminism is about representation!

Thank you to all the women representing!
