I'm booked! 🎉 @jacindaardern.bsky.social is one of my role models. Her leadership & authenticity were a huge inspiration for me to launch my blog where I share my journey and lessons as a purpose-driven leader www.buildasocialenterprise.com & newsletter: www.linkedin.com/build-relati.... So excited!

Ready for some time off. I’m in the great company of Alex Allison’s latest book, Greatest of all times (and of my husband of course 🥰). I plan to rest, daydream, do something fun and spend connected time with friends. After the week just gone I need it more than ever 🏳️‍⚧️

Happy #Easter weekend. 🌈

"At times when divisions seem to prevail unity, when young people, our future, seem to be disillusioned about politics and disengaged from community building, when acquired rights is a concept of the past, activism and social change are more needed than ever" @microrainbow.bsky.social. #LGBTQI

Very excited to celebrate the completion of the group and team #coaching training with In Good Company. Two of the many points that stuck with me are:
- "Answers don't always come with words"
- "What is my contribution to humanity?"
Looking forward to continue coaching #queer leaders everywhere!

Excited to work on this project with some of my amazing colleagues. Thank you Commonweal Housing for the support.

🔎 Micro Rainbow will explore a shared accommodation model for #LGBTQI asylum seekers whose asylum claims have been denied.
