I was just three weeks old when my parents fled to the UK, seeking asylum. With little money and no safety net, they took on menial jobs—far beneath their qualifications—to keep us afloat.
What makes me a Disruptor is the refusal to accept that business success must come at the expense of ethical practices or feminist values.
My legacy will be in creating watertight legislation that will mean my daughters and their daughters won’t be chopped out of the workforce the minute they dare to have a baby.
We are all unique individuals with our own "brands," so whether your preferred look is shaved bald, a TWA, or long flowing grey tresses, beauty is present in all of it.

Through my work as an actress, where I champion authentic representation or my advocacy for women’s health, I strive to challenge narratives that marginalise or silence voices that need to be heard.
My advice to other girls, ladies, and women is this: be the standard. Authenticity is the ultimate freedom. Conforming to what others expect robs you and the world of the unique person you are.
People with disabilities should be included in decision-making from a head-office perspective and have the same access to higher education as non-disabled people.
I have always believed that if the rules don’t work for you, rewrite them. That is why I am known as the “Chief Troublemaker.” Break the rules that make no sense and create new ones!
