For years the Cartier Women’s Initiative application found its way to me. I would open it, read about the extraordinary women being recognised, picture just for a moment what it could change for Womn-Kind. And then I would close it…

Last year, when someone once again suggested I apply, something inside me had shifted. Not in the work - our mission has always felt deeply important - but in the belief in myself as the person carrying it forward.

Alongside building Womn-Kind, I have been doing the quieter work too, on myself. The internal work. Growing as a leader. Leaning in to my authentic self. Learning to sit with discomfort. Walking into rooms where I don’t yet feel I belong. Believing in myself.

So this time instead of closing the application, I pressed submit. And through every stage of the process - which pushed me well outside my comfort zone - the fear, imposter syndrome and doubt were still there. But this time they weren’t the loudest voice in the room. The belief in our mission and myself was.

Being selected as a 2026 Cartier Women’s Initiative Fellow is one of the greatest honours and privileges of my career so far. To stand alongside women from around the world who are building solutions to some of our greatest challenges is deeply inspiring.

Moral of the story is that for so many years, I didn’t even give myself the chance to receive this opportunity because I didn’t apply. And to be honest, this year it didn’t feel like the obvious choice either. Yet here I am, wondering how different 2026 would look if I had closed the application one more time.

Sometimes the biggest shift isn’t the opportunity itself. It’s believing you are worthy of stepping into it. I cannot wait to share more of this journey with you. To say I’m grateful would be an understatement. I have so much more to say and am SO happy to finally be able to share this news with you - the heart and soul of what we do.

Stay kind AND believe in yourself,
♥️ Ruby by @rubyriethmuller
