@Inspiringchang Let me start by appreciating the first lady, pastor Sumbo Adeoye for having me. It is indeed a great opportunity. #InspiringNewDimension #IWD2019 #BalanceforBetter
@Inspiringchang Just as pastor Sumbo said behind every glory there will always be a story. #InspiringNewDimension #IWD2019 #BalanceForBetter
On this #IWD19, I’d like to share one major experience that shaped my career. It was early in my banking career and I’d been working on a major project which came to a successful end when I was informed that I would be moving to a newly formed team... /1 #InspiringNewDimension
...under the leadership of a female senior colleague who most people had described as cold and hard. So my first thought was fear and trepidation, it turned out to be the turning point of my career, she was a very thorough boss who pushed me beyond limits #inspiringNewDimension
It was the days before all these buzzwords but I suffered from what is now called “impostor-syndrome”, that many women feel. And she reversed this, and continued to give me visibility beyond my peers in other units. We worked very hard and it paid off. #inspiringNewDimension

No one should miss out on education because they can’t afford sanitary products.
So buy extra when shopping & donate to a foodbank.
And write to your MP to ask them to support girls all across the UK getting free sanitary products in schools, colleges & unis.
