Happy International Women’s Day! Which women inspire you most? I’d love to feature their profiles on The Dots :-)

I’d love to give a nod to all the amazing women on The Dots that inspire you, so please @ their name in the comments below, so we can feature their work and profiles.

I also wanted to shout out to all the amazing women who give up their time to mentor on The Dots by sharing their advice, support and words of encouragement on our Asks forum. Some of their names are below.

Today, I'll be going to an event to support and champion the incredible work of WOW - Women of the World, a festival celebrating the amazing achievements of women and girls, that takes a frank look at the obstacles they still face, and discusses solutions together. Find out more and support the festival here: https://thewowfoundation.com

  • Shout outs to photographers Kate Abbey (https://the-dots.com/users/kate-abbey-731326) and Wendy Carrig (https://www.wendycarrig.co.uk)
  • Well, if I'd have to give a specific answer, I'd probably say Yoko Shimomura, a great composer for games such as Kingdom Hearts, Street Fighter 2 and Super Mario RPG!
  • I find myself admiring the millions of unsung heroines who battle on through narcissistic relationships, abuse and cultural and professional discrimination....
  • Also HUGE thanks to @Pip Jamieson who I don’t know personally but without whom none of this would even be possible 🙏🏾 what an incredible woman!
  • Happy International Women’s Day to @Sarah Brown who I met on this platform (better than any dating app IMHO) and is the best designer I have ever worked with. Together we frequently smash it with production and one of our covers made it onto Cover Junkie earlier this year! 🎉🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️
  • Thanks @Pip Jamieson for the message!

    Good luck with the WOW festival - it’s such a great event! Today made it even more special with the snow!

    My inspiration today are my two grandmas, who lived a world war, ups and downs of various economies (and other wars), saw the world pre and post personal computers and the internet, started from humble beginnings and worked hard to grant a comfortable life for them and for their children, married for love, and had amazing children and grandchildren! 😉
  • Hey Pip, Thanks for those Apple seminars, they're AMAZING. Here are my top women:

    @Zoe Davies @Kerry Donnelly @Sophie Taylor @perle arteta @betty fadier @christina miller @Sinead Brennan @Ali Hanan @debbie tembo @Sarah Musker @Laura McGovern @Sarah Glover @Fabiana Xavier @Johanna de Mornay Davies @Dani Bell @Joyce Kremer @charlotte davies
  • @Daisy Morris @Lucy Werner @Dior Bediako @Stefanie Sword-Williams @Tiwalola Ogunlesi @Isabel Sachs are Some of my faves! And I will cheekily add myself to this list because I’m proud of what I’ve done this year, and how I’ve got myself in a good work groove 🤩
  • Thanks so much for the mention Pip. It means the world. You are an inspiration daily. Thank you for supporting and empowering us. We need it always :) stronger together
  • Happy International Women's Day! There are so many amazing women doing incredible things! So, my shout out would go to all of them. To everyone who changed my view of women from being fragile to being strong, independent, resilient and at the same time empathetic, gentle and kind.
