Its been a year where we have been inspired by women of all backgrounds. They all showing the age is just a number and the great things can be achieved in health and wellbeing wellness, sports, media, tech and science! Heres our list of incredible women we’ve been inspired by in 2019.
Lorraine Kelly
With a 30 year career in television, Lorraine has become a legend of daytime tv! When accepting an award celebrating it earlier in the year, she talked about successful women making sure they ‘pass it on’ and help other women rise up in their professions. We’re inspired by her desire to make it easier for the next generation. She promotes optimism and shines a light on the things that people should talk about more, rather than the toxic and divisive world we live in.
