💜 A Word from the Woman Behind the Scenes at Purple Carrot – Alita du Plessis

When I think back to where we came from, it’s hard to believe there was ever a time when women weren’t seen as equals.

We come in all shapes and sizes, with different backgrounds and stories to tell. No one is more deserving than another – every woman’s journey is unique, powerful, and worth celebrating.

I’ve learned that when women share, listen, and collaborate, magic happens.

This Women’s Day, I’m taking a moment to celebrate the woman I’ve become – to look back at where I started, to honour the journey that brought me here, and to embrace both my victories and my losses. Because it’s in our losses that we find resilience, and it’s through resilience that we grow stronger. And the stronger we grow, the more empowered we become.

To honour this spirit, we’ve opened entries to our

 Fabulous Women’s Day Competition – where you can nominate a remarkable woman who has enriched your life simply by being part of it.

It could be your mom, your teacher, your friend, or a woman in your community. Tell us why she deserves to win one of our incredible prizes – and let’s give her the celebration she truly deserves.
