Henna is Communications Coordinator for The School for Social Entrepreneurs.

“I believe that mental health and wellbeing, career prospects, understanding your identity and sexuality (and so much more!) is a part of growing up, but it's how these are dealt with, discussed and supported, that shape young women. Be Her Lead's work is crucial in this - something I wish I'd benefitted from while at school.”

Rachel is the Programme Manager at Bishopsgate Institute.

“I wish I'd had the space to explore and express my thoughts about my sense of self, aspirations and fears when I was younger. Here's to making sure future generations of girls have a different experience!”
