Success comes from embracing who you are

From our friends at iON Poverty, Whitney Smith explains how she transformed herself from the fat geeky kid who wore black lipstick and listened to The Cure to become co-founder of Girls for A Change, an organisation that galvanises girls to speak up and create changes in their own communities.

iOn Poverty is interviewing inspirational social entrepreneurs from across the globe about their careers, their motivation and what makes them successful in order to inspire others to get 'jobs with meaning'. We'll be featuring a number of their films on Pioneers Post over the coming months - so watch out for our favourites.
