Across the #Commonwealth, I have seen firsthand how women's leadership drives progress. From boardrooms to parliaments, when women are given the space to lead, they transform economies, strengthen democracy and create lasting change.
Honoured to deliver a keynote address at a @WACL1 event for women in advertising, communication and leadership. Storytelling shapes the world. The most powerful stories reimagine what is possible. We must use our voices to break barriers and inspire future generations.
