Definitely give this a listen to because this speaks to women all over the world! We’re dealing with this here in America for sure so the topic will sound very familiar. Well done!
So i did this #TedX talk in October in Tralee -a different way of communicating for me- it was a nerve-wracking but fascinating experience, & met some wonderfully diverse speakers on the day.
