Op-Ed: Micro aggressions mean we need to continue celebrating women.
I was honoured to receive the National Emerging Leader Award at the Telstra Business Women’s Awards. However in the lead up to this amazing moment, I couldn’t help but reflect on some micro aggressions I had encountered nine months prior. It made me realise that awards programs which celebrate women, really are important. If it wasn’t for a female leadership program I had been a part of at the time, I would have taken these micro aggressions to heart. In this article I explore what I encountered and what the underlying messages were. I hope that anyone who reads this thinks about the stigmas which continue to haunt women in leadership and in the workplace today.

Medium: What 10 years of Inclusive Filmmaking has Taught me
In 2007, at the age of 18, I learned that making a difference didn’t only look like giving money or travelling overseas to assist third world countries. Making a difference could look like helping someone learn how to make chicken schnitzel, helping someone learn how to catch the bus, or giving up a Saturday afternoon to teach an interested group of people, who happened to have Down Syndrome, how to use a camera.
