Last week we lost our hero, Shona. As we all adapt Last week we lost our hero, Shona. As we all adapt to our new normal, we couldn't help but reflect on the legacy Shona has left behind, along with the thousands of lives she has inspired ❤️⁠
⁠
Since our first workshop way back in 2017, Tammy and the team have travelled to every inch of Ireland and has empowered and inspired 30,000 girls. Most importantly, these girls have left the workshops standing a little bit taller, and ready to make the world a kinder place 🤩⁠
⁠
Our pride and joy which is our annual SHINE Festival, has seen 60,000 teenage girls across Ireland (and a little further afield thanks to our online SHINE) join us and hundreds of inspirational Irish women to celebrate International Day of The Girl 👑⁠
⁠
Teenage girls face a specific set of challenges, worries and anxieties and this is something we understand. To give them as much support as we can, we developed our little golden nugget, A.K.A our Survival Handbook For Girls. Over the past couple of years, 60,000 free copies have been delivered to 1st year students in schools all over Ireland 👏⁠
⁠
We pride ourselves in being an organisation that is for girls, by girls. What better way to reflect this than to have almost 70 ambassadors who represent us in schools and colleges all across the country? They promote Shona's legacy by inspiring new students and showing that their school values kindness 😘⁠
⁠
Finally, we can't forget the deadly girls we have met through our Summer School over the past 3 years. Hands down, this is one of the team's favourite weeks as we get to know our small group very personally and see each of the girls open up and gain self-confidence! 💪⁠
⁠
Our hearts may be a little heavy right now, but we want to keep the show on the road and do Shona proud. Bear with us as we build ourselves back up, and reignite our fire. The legacy Shona has left behind is only the tip of the iceberg, and our work is only getting started! 🔥⁠

They say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time. If this is true, we will strive to make sure that Shona will live on for a long, long time.⁠
⁠
Rest in peace our warrior ❤️⁠

While we all like to pretend our families are perf While we all like to pretend our families are perfect, none of us grow up in complete harmony. Sometimes, despite all the love in the world, couples have arguments.⁠
⁠
These tips have been taken out of the book 'You've Got This', written by our very own Tammy Darcy.⁠

"Bullying. It is something that should have been eradicated the moment it first reared its ugly face. Unfortunately, it still exists and probably will exist forever. The good news is, there are ways to get out of a situation where you are being bullied."⁠

Today's Post: Feminism 101- By Katie⁠ ⁠ "Femin Today's Post: Feminism 101- By Katie⁠
⁠
"Feminism is the theory of political, social & economic equality between the sexes. At its root, feminism is about achieving equality among the sexes, it is campaigning for women to be given the same opportunities as men, be it professionally or personally.⁠
⁠
It is not, however, about bashing men. There are so many misconceptions associated with feminism and I think it’s about time we debunk them."⁠
