Happy bank holiday afternoon lovely people ☀️ I’m currently hiding under the parasol in the garden absolutely covered head to toe in SPF 50 because apparently my skin and eyes were not designed for this level of sunshine!!! As much as the sun personally victimises me every single year… I still love sitting out in it 😂❤️ Just a little reminder that our catch up session is tomorrow evening and after the last one I have a feeling this one is going to be VERY good.... What started as introductions and life updates somehow turned into a huge conversation about women building technology that actually matters, the opportunity window we’re currently in with AI, and what we could create together over the next couple of years if we stop waiting for permission and just start building.....the energy in that call was Soooooo good. So tomorrow night we’re carrying it on ✨ Bring your ideas, random thoughts, things you’ve seen online, projects you’ve been thinking about, half formed “this might be stupid but…” ideas… all of it. Can’t wait to see you all, enjoy the rest of your bank holiday❤️

A massive Happy International Women’s Day to all of you and to women everywhere!! ❤️💃🏽🙌🏼🚀🎉 Question: If you could give your younger self one piece of career advice, what would it be? Please vote below and add details in the comments below ❤️🙏🏼❤️ Have great day superstars! 💃🏽🙌🏼🚀 Sxx

Finn came up to visit today with some packages from our fab @Sue Black and this gorgeous network, they really cheered me up on what’s been an emotional day……I’m so fed up & drained being in here and feeling as rough as a bears bum!!! As you all know I’m extremely camera shy but Finn talked me into sharing this selfie of us snuggled up with him & my new bear (that reminds me of all the love you have sent my way ❤️) watching the traitors final 😘❤️ Thank you alll soooooo much😘❤️
