I was once handed a microphone on stage and asked to say something to a large crowd. I hadn’t been expecting to have to say anything, and I’d never made a speech in my life. I froze, my knees knocked and everything just went white – I thought I would faint! Then I thought about how important the issue was and I just started talking – it was so important to me that I forgot my own embarrassment. The issue was bigger than me.

It was the most empowering thing I have ever done.
