"Thank you very much for speaking yesterday. You were fantastic and I know that the audience loved the talk."
Vimmi Singh, Co-Founder, Dynamic Asian Women's Network (DAWN)

"Thank you again for your presentation. It was very inspiring for all the attendees. I wish you all the best."
Vanessa Wellmann, Senior Co-ordinator, Private sector, Mayor's Office

"The events were great and I am delighted you enjoyed them too."

"I was impressed with your enthusiasm, achievements and comments on the key to success being enthusiasm and passion, I suppose honesty. I really believe that when we are true to ourselves and do what we really believe in, then it flows, grows and shines. You said, what do I have to lose if I try this, I started from nothing in the first place."

"I just wanted to say thank you for your inspiring talk at the Forward Ladies event tonight. Your website looks fabulous and the classes sound wonderful! Any chance that you might do some in Bradford?"

"You are an inspiration and what struck me was the way you changed direction when something didn’t seem to be working. Well done! I hope I can make my business as successful as yours".

"I enjoyed meeting you so much yesterday and hearing your story."

". . .Also to see your fabulous designs."
Comments from Etta Cohen (MD Forward Ladies) and the Forward Ladies audience

"Many thanks for your inspiring (and humorous!) presentation last night - the evening would not have been such a success without your participation. I think the audience (and staff) left being inspired and wanting to be an entrepreneur!"
Lina Sheehan, The British Library

"I've asked the students for feedback following your visit, and you'll be pleased to hear that the word used most frequently was 'inspirational'."
Jane Davison, Head Lecturer, University of Wales College Newport

"You were absolutely marvelous. . . You have achieved so much and yet are very humble and wanting to know more: quite wonderful",
Elizabeth Phillips, Head Teacher, St Marylebone School for Girls

"There has been lots of positive feedback about your personal contribution and our organisation; and for this I would like to say a big thank you, your story of your journey will go on to inspire women to realise their dreams and their opportunity to become economically independent."
Christine Garvey-Hendrickson, Black Women In Business

"I loved the story you told in Dubai, thank you for your contribution. I hope that you will continue to be one of the UK's most successful, inspirational and motivational entrepreneurs"
Arline Woutersz, National President of BAWE (British Association of Women Entrepreneurs)

"It is astonishing that you are thanking us for the event (Black History Month) we had at LCF last night. Again, I would like to thank you; because you were wonderful. Some very hardened members of staff said it was the best event they had ever been to at the College. I had never seen them so full of praise."
Avril Horsford, London College of Fashion, the London Institute

"I am writing to thank you once again for letting us borrow your beautiful designs for this year's DON'T WALK charity fashion show. The show was fabulous, and your designs were certainly a highlight."
Ashley Sands, Fashion Co-ordinator, St Andrews University Fashion Show

"I would like to thank you for the talk you gave yesterday at the Marketing Symposium. Both students and members of academic staff found it very insightful by bringing 'real' experience which helps to put the academic content of the programme into context."
Jacqui Zinkin, Principal Lecturer, University of Westminster
