Speaker and Workshop Facilitator
“Anna’s bespoke advice for our project was game-changing. We love this straight-talking, clever and authentic human.”
Gwen Issac, Director
“It is a rare and courageous thing to take the stage and be completely true to who you are. To share stories that show vulnerability, and integrity, and perception, and a level of care for things that others may tend to overlook or dismiss - I believe that is what we need more of. I’ve always held Anna in very high regard, but her talk that day left such a considerable impression on me, I think about it still. And often. It was fire under the butt; it was a balm for a weary soul; it was bold and brave and brilliant.”
Webstock creator, Natasha Lampard
