Why not? Indeed!

I’ve been back through the comments on my social media posts about my impossible project: speaking at the United Nations. Seven people have said they may be able to help and we’re getting calls booked in the diary. One person gave me the names and websites of 13 (lucky 13!) angel investor groups and venture capital houses that are supporting investments into female and diverse led businesses, so my team will be reaching out to them and getting calls set up to discuss collaboration.

Another person pointed me to Alison Rose, CEO of NatWest Bank (only female CEO of a major bank in the UK) who led a major research project in 2019 and published a very detailed report. I’ve downloaded the full report (125 pages) and will be digesting that next week.

And with all these people I’ll be talking with and interviewing, I’ve decided to launch a podcast as well. One member of my team has been pushing me for 8 months to do a podcast. Why not?

If you’ve read this far and are inspired to support me on this project, please watch my TEDx talk (link below) and give it a thumbs up on YouTube. If you’re really inspired post a comment on YouTube. Please.
