Recently I attended and did my "female entrepreneur thang" at the first ever "Skilled Women" event, which is set to be the first one of many. The event took place at Sarah Bonell Secondary School in Stratford.
I felt extremely honoured to have been asked to speak to the young women attending this extraordinary event, as I was contacted by Skilled Women off the back of being viewed as a "role model" for young women and a successful female business owner! I was also booked to sit with the young women attending and do one-on-one mentoring sessions with them about their aspirations, goals and dreams and to discuss with them a way forward to combat these as aspiring entrepreneurs!
As if this wasn't going to be rewarding enough I was also asked if I would be the main presenter for the whole event! I of course took the role on with a smile and a spring in my step and had a GREAT day with everyone who attended! I left feeling even more inspired...(And they gave me beautiful sunflowers to take home...yey)! :)


Another speaker on the day was Mavis Amankua of Rich Visions, who as usual was a complete inspiration and role model, showing that perseverance, dedication and belief in ones-self DO lead to success!


When I sat to have the one-on-one sessions with these ladies I came to find that they were all very determined to succeed and in so many different areas! From wanting to be on the next "Junior Apprentice" to wanting to be the most famous asian female actress to ever walk the earth, I heard it all today and LOVED that they all had strong visions and were aiming BIG! It all starts with a vision...
Overall the event was an amazing success and at the end they gave me flowers to take home which was lovely ! Its hard being a woman in business, you often have to break barriers and jump up and down to make yourself known! One things that rarely happens is someone giving you a pat on the back and saying "well done", but I can honestly say that being recognised and asked to do the Skilled Women event was like having that pat on the back and someone saying "WE SEE YOU"!
So thanks to Angela Brivett and her wonderful team, until the next Skilled Women event!
