Welcome to the latest edition of Wonderful Women, a regular feature on Honest Mum that celebrates and provides insight into the minds of the some of the UK's most successful and creative females.
In this feature, I speak to Baroness Margaret McDonagh, former General Secretary of the Labour Party from 1998-2001 who played a pivotal role in helping Labour win its landslide elections during her time there.
As a huge fan of the arts and contemporary dance, it gives me great pleasure to introduce this week's Wonderful Women interview with Sharon Watson, the Artistic Director of Phoenix Dance Theatre in Leeds.
For the latest edition of Wonderful Women I had the pleasure of talking to the super talented and gorgeous Una Foden (née Healy) whom I met at the Get Santa Première last year, and stayed in touch with.
As part of my Wonderful Women series, which celebrates all the kick-ass and inspiring women in the world, I spoke to Debbie Goddard, from ActionAidUK who gives us the inside scoop on what it’s like to be a top fundraiser and mama too...
It's time for the latest Wonderful Women interview, which is one of my favourite features on this blog - celebrating all the incredibly inspiring and kick-ass women out there!
If there is one thing Patience Brewster is, it is an honest mum.
Motherhood always came first, now and back in the late 70’s early 80’s, what she refers to as the dark ages, at a time when it was not so easy to work at home.
No daycare at first, no computers. But it provided the best of both worlds as she illustrated children’s books with babies on her desk, and as her children got older, painted for galleries and for stationery companies and then designs for a huge international gift company.
