Whether you’re a thinker, a maker, an artist or an entrepreneur, you’ll find plenty of inspiration for your working life here.

• This is a concise, beautifully-designed toolkit for women in the workplace, which will build on the successes of books like LEAN IN by Sheryl Sandberg (TCM £107k), WE SHOULD ALL BE FEMINISTS by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (TCM £55k), #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso (TCM £25k) and GIRL UP by Laura Bates (TCM £16k).

• Otegha is building a community around this project through her increasingly popular and well respected platform https://www.womenwho.co/ an initiative which aims to connect, support and inspire women working in the creative industries through publications, online content and events and has been written about very favourably across various different platforms including the mainstream press.
