This year the theme of International Women’s Day is Choose to Challenge - challenging gender stereotypes and bias, and continuing to strive for equality.
A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change.
So let's all choose to challenge. How will you help forge a gender equal world? Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality.

Some of you "bros" might feel this video is not for you and you don’t agree with its message or it does not effect you, you might even decide to unsubscribe as a result. What I would say is that if you do feel this way then you might need the message from this video the most. So I ask you to watch until the end, then if you feel you did not get any value out of it, and you are brave enough, let me know in the comments below.
There have been so many incredible women in tech and science who have paved the way to where we are today, such as Ada Lovelace and Margaret Hamilton. I didn’t actually know that much about them until I read this book ‘Good night stories for Rebel Girls’ which I would really recommend.
But today I wanted to highlight some of the women I follow and those I am lucky to collaborate with. Unfortunately, I can not list them all otherwise we will be here until next IWD.
Here is who they are and the amazing work that they do with their social links in the description below...
Anne Boden, Founder & CEO at StarlingBank and a real force in transforming the financial industry through technology. I have been lucky enough to hear Anne speak at a tech event and let's just say she blew my mind
