Today marks the launch of our exciting campaign dedicated to celebrating Inspirational Women and their remarkable journeys. At Hagley West, we believe in the power of storytelling and the impact it can have on our community. This campaign honors the incredible stories of five women from diverse backgrounds who have faced challenges and adversities, emerging stronger and more empowered.
Each of these women exemplifies the brand message of 'Love Your Journey.' Their experiences resonate deeply with our values, reminding us all that perseverance, resilience, and courage are essential to overcoming life's obstacles. We are thrilled to share their inspiring stories across our social media platforms and through mainstream media channels, shining a light on their achievements and the lessons they've learned along the way.
The first remarkable woman we will highlight is Dr. Lynda Ince-Greenaway. As part of the Windrush generation, Lynda faced discrimination and hardship, especially after losing her husband, a pioneer in the Metropolitan Police Force, just before she gave birth to their son. Despite the adversity, Lynda earned a doctorate in social work and has since become a motivational speaker and author, using her voice to empower others.
Next is Tulsi Vagjiani, a true testament to resilience. After losing her entire family in a tragic air disaster at the age of ten, Tulsi underwent over 50 surgeries to recover from horrific burns. Today, she is a Reiki Master Teacher and a passionate motivational speaker, inspiring others to embrace their differences and live fully.
We will also feature Nequela Whittaker, who overcame a challenging upbringing to become a mentor for at-risk youth. After serving time in prison as a teenager, Nequela turned her life around, earning a BA in Social Science and founding Committed Empowered Originals (CEO), a youth organization that helps young people make positive life choices.
Sarah Graham, an exceptionally talented artist, will also be celebrated. After battling bipolar disorder, Sarah uses her vibrant art to express her journey and inspire others.
Last but not least, we are proud to showcase Nicola Barke, a professional boxer known as the "Burmese Python." Nicola's journey is one of determination and strength. After facing narcolepsy and overcoming the aftermath of a life-threatening car crash, she became a former world titleholder in Taekwondo and the British number one in kickboxing. Nicola exemplifies the belief that everyone has their own calling and continues to inspire through her dedication to professional boxing.
As part of our commitment to these inspiring women, Hagley West will donate 5% of the total sales from the Inspiration range to the charities of their choice. We invite you to join us in celebrating these remarkable journeys and making a difference in the lives of others.
Love Your Journey.
