Grateful to Aïda and Asha - powerhouse women for such a thoughtful, intelligent discussion, to Sharon Harris and her team for creating such an amazing space, my gorgeous partner Lisa Smith whom I’m supporting at Cannes Lions and to everyone who joined us in that beautiful space.

We spoke about trans & gender nonconforming visibility, measurable representation + strong data and how brands like M·A·C are proving that purpose and profit are not at odds. When inclusion is woven into every decision, from product development to campaign casting, it builds trust that lasts.

With Aïda Moudachirou-Rebois of M·A·C Cosmetics and Asha Shivaji of the SeeMe Index, we explored what it really takes to centre inclusion at the heart of a global brand, not just in statements, but in structure, in leadership, and in action.

Our presence is radical.
Our voices are necessary.
And our future? It’s ours to write - fierce, collective, and uncompromising.

Come find me there. Let’s make noise. Let’s make history. Let’s make each other whole.

I’ll be giving a keynote, yes - but more than that, I’ll be holding space. For truth. For resistance. For connection. For all of us who carry stories etched in struggle and soaked in brilliance.✨

A city pulsing with protest and power, layered with the histories of those pushed to the margins-Indigenous, Black, queer. And yet, here we are. Returning. Rising. Refusing to be erased.

Each of these women brings depth, courage and lived experience to the conversation. Together, we’ll be talking about how bias still operates, who it leaves behind, and how we confront it with truth and action.

I’ll be joined by my dear friend Linda Riley, whose commitment to this community has opened doors for so many. Raga D'silva, a fearless voice for South Asian queer women who speaks with heart and clarity. Sarah Rench, who brings sharp insight into how bias plays out in tech, leadership and beyond.

To those who mother, those who have been mothered, those grieving, those healing, and those redefining what family looks like, I see you.

I’m sharing my daughter’s words here not just because they mean the world to me, but because they reminded me that chosen family, growth and joy are always possible, even when the journey hasn’t been easy.

And my own mum, too, I thank her daily, and I don’t need just one day to recognise how special she is. Her love, guidance and strength live in everything I do.

I was incredibly moved by my daughter’s words, they made me pause, reflect and feel deeply loved. I thank her every day, I don’t need just a day. Her love and boldness keep me going in ways she’ll never fully realise.

For many, it’s a joyful celebration. For others, it brings up loss, longing, distance or heartache. I want to acknowledge all of that, and take a moment for everyone who finds today difficult.
