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.

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

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.
