“When women take risks they tend not to be supported or celebrated in the same way as when men take risks.” – Tracey Spicer
Bravery comes in many forms, shapes, and sizes. From massive action to small forms of bravery, we all need to celebrate more. Listen as Tracey Spicer and I talk about what bravery looks like for women and why we need to change the conversation by telling more of our stories around everyday bravery.

The great joy of her career has been doing work documentaries, writing books, writing articles around women and girls, particularly in developing countries around the world. It’s that work that has put her in the presence of some of the bravest women she’s ever met.
