We’re so proud to honour Lisa with this award - a huge congratulations and so well-deserved! 🙌🏼🎊

Lisa‘s mentorship is grounded in care, generosity and a deep commitment to feminist principles. She creates spaces where people feel seen, supported and able to thrive, especially in environments where that isn’t always easy.

Such an important and powerful reminder for us as we continue working to build feminist spaces that are accountable and truly transformative 💪🏻💫
