A Lesson in Empowerment and Positive Change
22 October 2021
We were delighted to welcome the brilliant and inspirational Ateh Jewel to school this week.
Dr Ateh Jewel is an award-winning beauty expert, journalist, broadcaster and diversity advocate. Something of an industry guru and with over 16 years’ experience writing for some of the biggest magazines such as Vogue and Sunday Times Style, Ateh sits on the board of the British Beauty Advisory Council, champions inclusivity and regularly appears as the featured beauty expert on ITV’s ‘This Morning’.
After a fantastic introduction from Head Girl Fareedat, Ateh took to the stage to address students in Years 7 to Sixth Form. Frank and wide-ranging, her talk included insights across themes such as the empowerment of women and the importance of understanding the concept of cultural appropriation and inclusivity.
The talk clearly gave the girls food for thought in its profundity as it was followed by an excellent Q & A overseen by the leadership team in which students posed considered and intelligent questions. Topics ranged from the challenges Ateh has faced navigating the beauty industry, to what women and girls can do to support each other in school and in the workplace and bring about positive change.
What a way to round off the half term!
