Give it a go, you will never truly know what you love until you try something. If you don’t love it, try something else.
You can fake it till you make it! Even when I haven’t felt confident, I have put on a confident face and I begin to feel confident anyway! Be bold, say yes to opportunities and don’t be scared to ask for stuff.

We need to recognise that fairness is not about fitting into pre-defined roles or gender specific roles, but expanding the possibilities of what we can achieve. It is crucial for the next generation of girls to challenge societal stereotypes and to see themselves as capable in excelling in any field they are passionate about. And for us, it is about empowering girls to explore non-traditional careers and connecting them to role models who have broken down barriers. By doing this, we can help them “March Forward” with confidence and demand a fairer, more inclusive world for themselves and future generations.
You are never alone in your struggles or moments of self-doubt. Real change happens when we uplift one another, amplify each other’s voices, and create opportunities together. Fairness isn’t about waiting for a seat at the table—it’s about building a table where everyone belongs. Stand strong, speak up, and continue breaking barriers, all while lifting other women as you rise. Nothing will be handed to you, and if you never fail, you’re not pushing yourself hard enough, you will make it!
