This International Women’s Day, we asked the Women of Wonderbly for some very special advice
Happy International Women’s Day! Here at Wonderbly we’re very proud that over 50% of our colleagues are funny, clever and frankly fantastic women. As part of our IWD celebrations this year, we thought we’d ask these funny, clever and frankly fantastic women what piece of advice they’d give their 5 year old selves. After all, we’re in the business of inspiring a brand new generation of wonderful women!
Tola Omoniyi, SEO Manager
“Stop wishing you were older and enjoy every minute of your childhood – being an adult is highly overrated!”
Lucy Macfarlane, Marketing Executive
“Long, blonde princess hair is overrated! Your curls are lovely, because every type of hair is beautiful.”
Zeena Shah, Art Director
“Keep asking questions and drawing on everything. Oh, and don’t give up ballet because your friends say it’s not cool!”
Abby Worth, Head of Copy
“Don’t lose your bright little spark. You’ll need it when you’re older!”
Jacqui Browne, Senior Designer
“Never stop being a little bit silly.”
Marija Tiurina, Illustrator
“Stay away from cows. Cows are evil. Also it’s okay to want to be an artists, don’t listen to people who say it can’t be a job.”
Paula Pintos, Customer Service Angel
“Listen to the thoughts in your head, even if it’s noisy around you – they matter!”
Mara Alperin, Story Producer
“Spend more time reading, laughing, hanging out with the people you love and going outside”
Angela Newman, Customer Service Angel
“Stretch your wings and FLY”
Wise words from some wise women – we hope you all have a frankly fantastic International Women’s Day!
