How do you put feminism into action at Womankind?
As Philanthropy Manager I am responsible for our Major Donor and Corporate Partnerships fundraising. I get to read about amazing potential projects that we want to support our partners to deliver and then persuade people to fund them! There is no better feeling than getting the news that a new or existing supporter wants to invest in Womankind and an impactful new project can now get started.
Tell us about your feminist journey?
I’m lucky enough to be surrounded every day by amazing female role models – in my family, friends and colleagues. But until I worked for feminist charities – first Girlguiding and now Womankind, I didn’t really know what ‘feminist’ meant to me. I can honestly say that I continue to learn every day at Womankind; it’s an organisation that places huge weight on living by its feminist values.
A feminist hero of yours?
I am a huge fan of Megan Crabbe (@bodyposipanda) who is a body positive activist and spreads incredibly important and honest messages about body acceptance, mental health and Trans rights amongst others. She is a brilliant role model for girls and women – look her up whenever you need a dose of strength, happiness and colour!
