Female Empowerment
We're reflecting on last week as we celebrated International Women's Day and Mother's Day
Last week was a very empowering week for women, we had Mother’s Day and International Women’s Day within a couple of days of each other, and it left us feeling really reflective about the women in our lives who’ve helped us get to where we are.
“It’s been such an incredible week celebrating International Women’s Day and it’s made me think about the fabulous women in my family.
I come from a family of strong women who are amazing role models and have shaped the person I am today, for which I will always be grateful.”
- Claire, Founder of Air & Grace
As a team of all women, the past week has meant something different to each of us. We’ve asked some of the team why they love working in an all female-team, and why they love being a woman.
"Coming from a family of super strong women, I'm so proud to work in a team of brilliant women who inspire & challenge me everyday."
- Abby (Left), Head of Brand Marketing
“For me being a woman means being a part of a wider community who constantly praise and welcome each other to be their authentic selves. I definitely feel this working for A&G and even though all our personalities are so different, you know you're in a business filled with women when you feel at home.”
- Emilia (Middle), Marketing Assistant
“I’m super honoured to work in a team of successful women, there’s something really powerful about being surrounded by other ladies all working hard in the big city! I think we understand each other's triumphs and struggles in a way that only women can and it creates a really strong sense of camaraderie with lots of laughter and fun thrown in!”
- Maddie (Right), Brand Marketing Executive
“What I love about working at A&G is that we are an all women team, and we are all so very different. We are a range of ages, and at different stages of life, motherhood, and careers. But, despite all these differences, we truly do get along - which is what I think makes us quite unique as a team.”
- Michelle, Customer Service
“Working with a team of all women at Air & Grace gives me a huge sense of empowerment and pride. Each shoot I’ve worked on has always been filled with support, encouragement and lots of fun. A&G have always supported me as a mid-size model and worked shoots around my shifts as a firefighter. This is a true reflection of how the company really advocate for girl power!”
- Siobhan, Air & Grace Model, and Firefighter
"The best thing about being a woman is simply being a woman. I am reminded by this everyday in our A&G office working amongst a team of strong, caring and inspiring women!"
- Megan (Left), Operations Manager
"In an industry full of competition it's so refreshing working in a team of women who build each other up. Everyday I get inspired and educated by the women I work alongside, knowing you have support waiting just through the office door makes it 10x more enjoyable to go to work every morning."
- Frankie (Right), E-Commerce Intern
