Today (8 March) is International Women’s Day and one of the things we’re doing to celebrate at kikki.K is shining a spotlight on some incredible women we’ve met over the years, who are all achieving incredible things around the world.
Now is the time to celebrate, appreciate and support all the incredible women in your life, and around the world. International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.
Here are just a handful of the inspiring women who’ve had an impact on the kikki.K team since being featured on Kristina’s Your Dream Life Podcast. Women who are inspiring and empowering others around the world and sending waves of positivity and change across the globe.
DR TERERAI TRENT
Born into poverty, uneducated and married, Dr. Tererai Trent was already a mother of four by the age of 18. Little did she know that a chance visit by an American woman, who inspired her to dream would lead to her mother encouraging her to write her seemingly unachievable dreams down on paper. This became the starting point for an inspirational journey to making her dreams a reality.
Dr. Trent could not have imagined that her steadfast determination, hard work and belief in her dreams would eventually earn her multiple degrees, and a prominent global platform with world leaders and international businesses and audiences where she advocates for universal access to quality education.
