There are so many women who are raising their voice, paving new roads & igniting change. I wanted to celebrate these empowering changemakers, so I’m reintroducing #Women4Women / #W4W as a monthly series, where we can read the stories of women who inspire me.

Starting this with New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern - elected in 2017, she has shown the world exemplary leadership in the face of adversity, whether it was her response to the Christchurch mosque shooting last year or to the Covid-19 pandemic now.

It was her leadership that led New Zealand to be the first COVID-19 free country in the world.  @jacindaardern, you serve as an amazing role model for young women who have aspirations of leadership. Keep doing what you’re doing & we’ll continue to support you and learn from you.
