In this episode of #WEDTalks, we hear from Hannah Riekemann-Wood, WED Ambassador, former Chief Mate, defence contractor, and working parent. Hannah shares a candid and thought-provoking perspective on what it really means to raise a family while working in the naval and wider defence sector ⚓👶
From an unexpected journey into the Merchant Navy to navigating dual-career households, long deployments, and policy gaps, Hannah explores why defence cannot afford to lose highly trained talent simply because people choose to have children.
This conversation goes beyond individual experience. It challenges organisations to take a hard look at retention, flexible working, and accountability and asks whether current systems truly support the people defence relies on most.
If you care about leadership, workforce sustainability, and building defence organisations fit for the future, this is a must-listen 🎧
👉 Listen now and join the conversation on how defence can do better — for parents, for women, and for the sector as a whole.

At Women Empowering Defence, we believe leadership is not defined by rank, but by how we empower others.
This is why we are excitited to share our latest #WEDTalks podcast: From Boots to Bridges: Building Understanding and Unity via Diversity, Allyship and Focus. In this conversation, we explore the remarkable story of Noel Acquah (@AcquahNoel) British Army Officer who began his journey as a trooper after moving from Ghana, and is now a financial officer and co-chair of the Army’s multicultural network.
Noel reflects on his path with honesty and humility, the challenges faced, the allies who supported him, and the responsibility he now carries to advocate for diversity, inclusion, and mentorship.
He shares:
✨ The role of a male ally in empowering women and underrepresented voices
✨ Why trust, listening, and empathy are essential in leadership
✨ His vision for cultural change in the British Army
✨ Insights inspired by Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi
This episode is about more than a career; it’s about building bridges across cultures and showing that leadership is strongest when it lifts others.

🎙️ New Episode in Series 2 Podcast #WedTalks: Strong Minds, Open Hearts
In this compelling episode, we sit down with Lee Fox (@Foxy2Para), Warrant Officer in the Parachute Regiment and an advocate for mental health for an honest and courageous conversation.
Together, we explore:
• The importance of mental fitness in high-pressure environments
• Learning to lead with vulnerability
• What it means to truly check in with yourself and others
• Why “strength” and “openness” aren’t opposites, but allies
This episode is part of our mission to create space for open, stigma-free conversations in the defence community and beyond. Because empowerment begins with awareness and grows through connection.
