I want to talk about the importance and value of having a mentor.

I am participating in the Civil Service x BelEve mentorship programme, as a mentee. The BelEve charity has connected me with a mentor, and allowed me to participate in workshops to improve my skills as a future leader. I am so grateful to be a part of the community of inspiring women that BelEve has created.

Having Nithya Eswar Vee as my mentor is incredibly helpful. All of our meetings are filled with fascinating discussions and it feels encouraging to have a wonderful woman supporting you.

As a designer and an innovator I was mainly taught by men, so it is really refreshing and important to me to have a female role model to discuss ideas with and to guide me. I believe as women we need to support, empower and celebrate each other!

The women of BelEve are doing way more than just the mentorship programme, so if you haven’t heard about them, I encourage you to have a look at their website or social media and support them in making change and empowering girls.
