Gabby: "The main drive for starting my business was I had physical and mental health challenges that meant standard employment for me was not going to work. I needed to have something to be passionate about in work." #PeripheralPower
"I was raising a family and I was a mum, a wife and I wanted to be Shabana again. By the second week with WEvolution, I don't know, something kind of got me thinking, "my goodness, I can actually do something." #PeripheralPower
“When we invest in women at the periphery, we ignite a powerful ripple effect that transforms families, communities + broader economy. This event is a celebration of the limitless potential of women who have often been overlooked.” @SarahPDavidson WEvolution Chair of Trustees
