Women are taught to put themselves down, and heavily criticise themselves. We face a lot of obstacles in life and sometimes have no support for them. What’s something you’ve achieved against all odds?

    I’d say my 6th form education. I’m neurodiverse so I never did well in education, and everything that could go wrong with my courses went wrong. Not only did I pass them I got great grades! Outstanding achievement, and one of the things I’m proudest of

    I moved out at 18 and graduated college with a bachelors degree in 2.5 years. It’s a period in my life I’m glad I’ll never have to go back to, I worked multiple jobs and took way too many credits each semester and through the summers. But a lot of family members didn’t think I would be able to make it on my own.
