Girls Out Loud – Out & About
Hattie (centre) and her speakers get ready to inspire
20 awesome role models arrived at Albion Academy on 15 January to inspire Year 8 girls to think big, believe in their dreams and reach for the stars. Our Role Model Relay event hosted for the first time by one of our top Ambassadors XFM radio presenter, Hattie Pearson, is a opportunity for the girls to be inspired by 4 women who share their journey upfront, then over an hour of speed mentoring where they get to chat to a diverse group of women from all walks of life. At this event we were joined by a a singer/songwriter, CEO of one of the leading children’s day nurseries, an international make-up artist/stylist, physiotherapist, beauty salon owner, sales consultant, fashion boutique owner, event manager, police officers, NHS manager, media executives and more. Here is a quote from one of the girls on her feedback form
‘These women made me believe that I can follow my dreams if I work hard and have hope.’ Job done!
