A Joyful Journey of Discovery
You’re invited to join us on a joyful journey of discovery.
In the new series, we speak to lots of different women, from all walks of life, to tell us about their experiences of working with Inspire, from where we’ve come from, our collective and individual impact, and looking to what the future holds for Inspire Women.
Discover how a small, fearless, group of women working in solidarity has changed the lives of hundreds of women, influenced policy change, and changed the way academics approach research projects.
But, most importantly, how all of this drives our ambition to never give up, and be open to learning new things, not only for us, but for the women we continue to serve in our community.
