The biggest challenge I have encountered is losing a baby. In 2013, my husband and I lost our daughter at 20 weeks of pregnancy. I had to go through labour and delivery, except she was born still.
I reached a point where I decided I wouldn’t let anyone else set the bar or define my worth... By healing and affirming myself, I was able to extend that healing outward.
Teachers told me I would never go to university, that I wasn’t intelligent enough. I believed every word, and it was my belief in them that held me back.
In the UK, only 7% of commercial directors are women, and only 12.6% of creative directors are women…I believe the lack of women in creative leadership roles is why there are so many outdated, lazy stereotypes of women served up to us on our screens.
