International Women's Day
“The Road Less Travelled…” was the theme for Richmond Council’s International Women’s Day this year. Taking place in Clarendon Hall in York House, we welcomed over 50 attendees including Cllr Petra Fleming and three finalists from the Tiffin Girls School Young Entrepreneur competition.
A range of excellent speakers – Linda Birch, Sama Trinder, Sarah Speake – shared their respective vulnerabilities, and sometimes painful experiences, on their journey to success. This included Munira Wilson, Liberal Democrat MP for Twickenham, who delighted the audience by dropping in between engagements to say hello and to give Tessa Parry-Wingfield, an impromptu interview about her own journey into politics.
