A fantastic evening listening to @MrChuckD at @LeedsIntFest
He had so much to say but my favourite points were people need to be making art & women should run the world (or at least 55%) #LIFI25

And that’s a wrap! After four incredible days, @LeedsIntFest is over until next year.
With 10 events, 36 speakers and a record-breaking 5,500 attendees, it’s safe to say the 2024 festival was a huge success.

Interesting evening, especially as mom of 3 boys.
Lucky to ask a question to @carolvorders & @SELFESTEEM___ & even got a round of applause for it from over 800 people!
Key takeaway-we need to pull together-bottom up,top down,let's create the change we want to see! 💪🏼💕🤩
@carolvorders has graced our TV screens for over 40 years - alongside @SELFESTEEM___ they had an honest and cheeky conversation at #LIFI24 about women in the media, highlighting cliches while also celebrating their real experiences.
