#Fearless
Girl
Why I believe the #Fearless Girl message is so
important?
When State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) placed the
fearless girl on Wall Street in New York City in March
2017, their underlying message to inspire, promote
and encourage more women in leadership and board
level roles, encourage diversity and to contribute to
the long-term value of a work place, resonated with
me on many levels.
I believe women do need to be more represented in
the financial markets and whilst we are beginning
to see the changes happening, it is through raising
awareness such as the #fearless girl, that really
sends a powerful message to not just the current
generation of women, but more importantly, to the
women of the future.
I try to instil values to my 8 year daughter to work
hard and strive with determination on the things that
are important to her. To be confident, have self -belief
and to maximise her potential. My motto at home is
‘Dream, believe and achieve’ – something I hope will
engrain in her so that she can pass it down to her
children and grandchildren.
Thank you SSGA for promoting this important
message – I would love to see the Fearless Girl in
every city around the world to empower women
everywhere.
