“My only advice to young people who are doing this work on feminist leadership is to not copy paste a model: develop your own models, come up with new ways of doing things. I guess all spaces demain new ways of doing things, so better than copy pasting what older white men – or older men – have done, we should create our own models. Models that are based on dignity, compassion, empathy, care”.
