‘Wow, I am truly honoured to receive the recognition for one of UK’s most impressive female entrepreneurs. I enjoy working hard, advocating for my clients so they can have access to their basic human rights of communication and eating. Speech Therapy Interactive helps people have a meaningful life after stroke/brain injury, showing people how valuable they are to this world. As a Director and First-time mum, this award has given me the confidence that I can be a CEO and a mother too. I hope to inspire other women and remind them that growth and comfort do not co-exist. Great things never come from staying in your comfort zone. Believe that you are deserving and don’t let imposter syndrome define your self-worth.’
