why do you think it is important that role models need to be visible?
“you can’t be what you can’t see” – it’s very important that we show young girls and women what the possibilities are in life. the possibilities are endless, but sometime people hold themselves back because of biases or the opinion of others. i’m a true believer that we don’t have to settle for less in life and that we can have it all! it’s important to be visible so that we can break the biases together and to empower people to make their own decision and to live the life they ambition!
