#WhoAmIWednesday - International Women's Day Edition.

💼 At 19, got my first full time job followed a few months later with my first corporate job with benefits. That is when I took on the responsibility of paying my parents mortgage, after my father lost his job at Ansett and times got tough.
....
📢 At 25, I became one of only 150 people selected from Victoria as a youth ambassador for the Make Poverty History campaign. We joined a nation wide campaign, taking our anti-poverty message across the country, convening in Sydney and meeting with then opposition leader, Kevin Rudd.

💔 It is easy to see what we don't have or what we have lost. Yes, I have lost a job to a man that was less qualified than I. Yes, I have been a victim of sexual assault and other abuses by men. But despite my many challenges, I have done some incredible things. As a friend pointed out; it is important to reflect sometimes and take stock of what we have achieved. Remember that what you do is important and directly impacts your life and others.

💗 I am sure the women who follow or like my page, have done amazing things, even if you can't yet see it. Take a moment and celebrate what you have achieved. I would love to hear what you come up with!

When the courageous can’t make it through the system and out the other side

We must recognise that the system is broken

There is no justice

It’s time to change the system
