We caught up with the founder of Violet Simon, Sophia Ufy Ukor, to talk about why storytelling matters, white feminism, and what it takes to be a disruptor. globalcitizen.org/en/content/sop…

I had a lovely time speaking at the Financial Times & Female Invest community event about powering more females. I talked about my journey as an entrepreneur, being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder & chronic PTSD & how getting help is one of the best things that happened to me.

In Disruptors issue 2, Golda Rosheuvel talks about moving to UK from South America/Guyana at a young age, having interracial parents which was not a norm back then, her admiration for her parents, some of the challenges she faced and how she navigated them: violetsimon.co.uk/product-catego…

She also discusses what it takes to be a Disruptor, how she got the role of Queen Charlotte in Bridgerton, the importance of representation, inclusion and diversity in the TV and film industry and the valuable impact of shows like Bridgerton in the society.

“My parents’ very existence together challenged the status quo,so from the day I was born, that was my destiny. My mother was White & my father was Black. We experienced good & bad attention just because the family picture looked very different from the "norm".” -Golda Rosheuvel.

There needs to be more conversation about memory lapse during and after pregnancy especially how it deteriorates for subsequent pregnancies and the impact of this on work and life for women.

We would be exploring this issue soon and want to hear from other mothers who have experienced memory lapse aka ‘pregnancy brain.’ What is your experience with memory lapse and what impact did it have in your life? #journorequest

We’re crowdfunding! We just launched a Kickstarter crowdfund campaign to fund our Disruptors documentary and magazine-book series. Disruptors highlights the journey and stories of women challenging and changing the status quo. Support us here: kickstarter.com/projects/suuko…

Women's stories account for only 0.5% of recorded history. Our mission is to close this gap, amplify women's voices and experiences, improve equitable representation and create a safe space where women's voices are heard with actionable solutions.

We have made significant strides since the launch of disruptors and until now, we have bootstrapped and relied on volunteers and goodwill to sustain Violet Simon. Please support our mission and be part of the change by backing our crowdfund campaign & spreading the word widely.

Dear Uber, it is absolutely outrageous that drivers cannot be contacted immediately after a trip to recover forgotten items. Recovering items should be seamless but you make the communication process challenging.
