Teachers told me I would never go to university, that I wasn’t intelligent enough. I believed every word, and it was my belief in them that held me back.
Around six years ago, my marriage ended very suddenly and unexpectedly — over breakfast, no less. I had thought I had it all… I had a choice: give in, or go all in. I chose to go all in… That decision has shaped my work ever since. It fuelled my determination to encourage women to rewrite the rules.
Working at major publishing houses, I was often the only Black woman in the room... Rather than allow these experiences to discourage me, they became my fuel.
