Back in march 2015 I had the idea that I was going to write a book. This idea was born from a conversation I was having during my Gateway Women plan B workshop where I was working through the feeling of not being heard. I wanted to find my voice. So I decided that I was going to write a book using my photography and stories from other Gateway Women, to document our experiences on the journey to realising our plan Bs.
As the weeks went by the idea grew and started to develop at a rate that I certainly did not expect. As I developed the courage to take about my idea (and I was becoming more honest with my story) the more others became interested in what I wanted to achieve. People started to believe, they believed in my story, they believed in my journey and wanted to here the stories of the other Gateway Women.
It has been an emotional, tiring journey and I am becoming excited at the prospect of my up and coming book launch on the 5th March at International Women’s Day. Reading through the stories from my fellow plan Bee’s is overwhelming, they really remind me of what we have gone through and I am amazed at the strength of these women who are stepping out and sharing their stories. I really can’t wait to share my book and our stories with the ‘world’.
