Whilst communities and brands are hugely important for positive change. Leaders and change makers with a vision of a better word are vital.

Nobody really sets out to be a leader or particularly thinks they have that label. I know I don’t. But equally my mission for an inclusive and sustainable world has reached many people and connected me to brilliant allies.

I feel that through my activism and social entrepreneurship things have and will continue to improve. Furthermore by supporting and empowering future leaders we’ll get there quicker.

That’s why I’m also running Purple Change Makers and Purple Ventures. More information to come through my Purple Power newsletter. So please do subscribe.
