Want to be your own boss? Want to be THE boss? This is the book for you.
When I first met Debbie at a party in 2015, we quickly realised that we were two strangers thinking the same thing: in an age where feminism is plastered on T-shirts, pop stars routinely sing about female empowerment and women are more likely than men to go on to higher education, why were there still so few women leading in business?
It’s something we are deeply passionate about changing, which is why we founded AllBright in 2017 - to create physical spaces alongside a digital network for women to help them gain the skills, confidence and connections they need to achieve their goals and master the mindset of leadership. Watching what we’ve created help other women achieve their business and career dreams has been the most fulfilling journey of our careers.
But we wanted to spread the message further, which is why we have written our first book, Believe, Build, Become. The book is a practical, hands-on guide designed to equip women with everything they need to thrive in their working lives. We’ve included real-life stories from some of the amazing women in our sisterhood across the world, from the actress Naomie Harris to businesswoman and tech founder Whitney Wolfe Herd to interior designer Kelly Hoppen, as well as businesswoman Anastasia Soare – the ‘Eyebrow Queen’ – who arrived in America as an immigrant and built a billion-dollar business from scratch. Debbie and I have taken our experience in our two separate fields and asked others for theirs, to provide inspiration from many walks of life.
Your sisterhood can constantly expand and change as you do, but it’s crucial to your success that you build up your own bespoke network who are dedicated to empowering and improving you (and you to them). Together you have the power to transform the inspiration and advice in the book into actions that you do every day that will enable change. We know it and the women in our book know it: sisterhood works. Get out there and build up yours to help you become what you want to be.
