It has to be my gran, she came out after having six children in the 70s, that’s pretty iconic. She launched the first women’s sports magazine here in the UK, in the 80s, and she continues to write to this day. I’m so proud of her and all she has achieved. She is a true example in the joy of living an authentic life ⁣
