@PaulEeles@festival_learn@SkillsEduGroup@shanechowen Thank you Paul, that means so much. If my words reach just one person, just enough to help them believe that might be able to begin learning again, like so many people’s stories inspired me to take the leap of faith, how absolutely incredible would that be! #passingiton ❤️💫🤞🏼
@dipa_ganguli @shanechowen@festival_learn@SkillsEduGroup Thank you so much @dipa_ganguli I was so overwhelmed with everyone’s kind words and responses to my words. ❤️ Truly thankful.

Inspirational words from Jo as she accepts her award.
What an absolutely unforgettable day, cannot thank @TheHKF and @festival_learn for giving me the opportunity to share this experience with my daughter. ❤️ #folawards
Tomorrow is International Women’s Day and I commit to calling out bias, smashing stereotypes, breaking inequality, and rejecting discrimination.
