💼 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!

Corrupt, disingenuous “justices” reverse rights and impede progress, thereby increasing inequality, hate, and prejudice.

Y’know what I'd really like to celebrate on Int’l Women’s Day? Getting paid the same as men. Being treated with the same respect as men. Less ageism. Less interrupting. Less mansplaining.

Also? Treat my Black and brown women friends the same...and my trans and lesbian women friends. My single mama friends. My friends who want to control their reproduction. My elderly friends. My friends who tell you No. A day is no replacement for equality, no matter how nice the posts.
