So powerful to see the incredible Gisèle Pelicot on the cover of Vogue Germany today, as we enter the 16 days of activism for awareness on the Elimination of Violence Against Women 🧡 So much work remains to be done, in particular in the #Pacific where #GBV is amongst the highest in the world.

My husband is an amateur astronomer and produces some pretty amazing photos that remind us of how small we are on our little Blue Planet ✨
I saw the Orion Nebula and Andromeda on my birthday and took a shot with my📱

Jupiter and its moons were so visible. Betelgeuse is the red dot to the right and the Orion is just above that. Pleiades wasn't very visible to the naked eye but I'm happy with the result ✨
