Happy #InternationalWomensDay ! I know it’s a bit late. Every year I make a tweet, tagging all the influential women in my life, but if I did it this year, the list would never end! To all the women at @NLCYouthwork@OfficialSYP@YoungScot and others, you are all amazing!💖✨
A bit late but Happy International Women’s Day!!! I’m so proud and thankful to know so many women who inspire me everyday, especially young women who are speaking up about the issues that are important to them and changing the world for the better I love and support all of you 🥰
