Growing up, I would rarely see women in high positions in jobs or government. I told myself, when I grow up I am going to #ChooseToChallenge this stigma.
Ladies such as Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama and Mary Jackson have been role models for me growing up. To make noise and to be heard, not to take things quietly.
If I have an opinion, I will not be silenced, and I encourage every women to do the same. If you are in a meeting room and have an idea, speak up and say your piece. Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.
