This week is International Women’s Day and whilst I am hesitant to pile on to the IWD flood of content - it would be weird to pass the day without some sort of acknowledgement! So rather than posting something token, I wanted to attempt to answer the second part of that journalist’s question

Unwittingly, I manage to tick a number of diversity boxes: female, person of colour, part-timer, working mum, person of faith. But for most of my life, I have felt zero connection to the “minority” label. At times I have actually loathed it.
