In what ways can you use your voice and platform to advocate for women's rights and gender equality?
Culture does not make people, people make culture. When I think about women’s rights, this principle extends from my home life to my work life and everything in between. At home, there’s no gender specific person that cooks or cleans, everyone contributes. At work, you should be confident enough to respectfully reject chauvinistic tendencies, it will make your workplace a little better for the other women around you. Women tend to compete against each other; however, we need to support and empower each other. It’s also about ensuring that women have the same leadership and progression opportunities as their male counterparts. By giving women access to training, development and mentoring this will allow them to enhance their skills, set ambitious goals and progress toward them.
How do you prioritize self-care and well-being on International Women's Day?
Prioritising self-care and well-being are essential, because if I can’t take care of myself, I can’t take care of anyone else. Self-care benefits everyone. It’s like they say, you can’t pour from an empty cup, right? Getting a good night’s sleep, regularly exercising, and nourishing my body with a healthy diet sets up a positive regime and gives me clarity of mind.
