00:00 The most inspirational woman? I think Frida Kahlo is very inspirational. I wouldn't like
00:07 to say the most inspirational, but I mean, you know, I liked her politics, she was a
00:11 great artist, she was disabled, you know, I think she overcame a lot in her life and
00:16 is now one of the most prominent people in the history of art.
00:19 The first person that came to mind for me was Angela Rayner, who's the deputy Labour
00:25 leader, because I was reading about her the other week, she got pregnant at 16, didn't
00:31 finish her GCSEs, had to work like in a care home full time whilst raising a child when
00:38 she was young, and she got through her education and then now she's a pretty big politician.
00:44 Oh my goodness, there's been a few, but I would probably think someone who is wholly
00:51 selfless and I think that's quite hard to find, so somebody like Mother Teresa, but
00:56 also our late Queen. I think she was absolutely amazing, she really did dedicate her life
01:03 to public service.
01:05 Kind of celebrity, probably Brene Brown. She does a lot of speaking about shame and vulnerability
01:12 and it's one of the things she talks greatly about women specifically, is that there's
01:16 kind of that expectation for young women that they have to be perfect, they have to be good
01:20 at everything. Now women are allowed careers as well, but it doesn't mean that they have
01:25 more time to do it, it means they have less time to have the career and the family.
01:29 Helen Mirren. I thought she was a famous actress of all time to me.
01:39 What is it about what you think, obviously she's a fabulous actress isn't she?
01:43 She plays all kinds of roles, played the Queen, sniper, killer, whatever you know.
01:51 Wife of the founder of the Salvation Army. She's been an inspiration in my life.
01:56 Would she care to say why?
02:00 Well because she stood up for women and she joined in men and she preached like men did
02:05 at a time when men couldn't do it and she was there.
02:09 Yeah there have been inspirational women I suppose in the world over the years, but I
02:13 can't say I think, oh my goodness I'd love to inspire to live my life like them. It really
02:19 kind of grinds me that people were like just, I don't know I can't put people on pedestals,
02:23 I can't do it.
02:24 Well you've always got your mother and she was a wonderful, wonderful person. Couldn't
02:31 fault her.
02:32 My inspirational woman that I have chosen is the wonderful Adam Shinobi. I love this
02:39 woman so much, she spreads kindness everywhere, she's made such an impact on my life. I feel
02:44 like when I'm hanging out with her we have so much unmatched energy, it's great. We create,
02:49 we have so many ideas, we do everything together. We've literally known each other for like
02:53 two, three months and we are so close, it's unbelievable. She is an inspiration to me,
03:00 I love Adam Shinobi so much.
03:01 Stop, I can't use it.
03:03 Your turn.
