The #STYLISAFoundHers Series, April - Valentine Avoh
One of the things I’ve noticed through is how many founders reach a point where they realise they don’t have to follow the existing rules. Not immediately. But at some point, something shifts.

There are certain moments in a founder’s journey that change everything. The moment when something shifts from being a job or a skill into something much deeper.

The #STYLISAFoundHers Series, April - Valentine Avoh, Founder of Atelier Valentine Avoh
This month, as the series turns one, I’m introducing Valentine Avoh, a Brussels-based bridal couturier whose work reflects exactly that.

#STYLISAFoundHers
This week will mark one year since I published the first #STYLISAFoundHers interview. A year later, it has become something far more layered than I initially set out to create. Not just a series, but an ecosystem.

What do you do when you hit 50,000?
You talk about it on the radio… and then go and get a chippy tea 😄
I’ve been building #STYLISAFoundHers for a year, an editorial platform where I interview incredible women building brilliant businesses.

The #STYLISAFoundHers Series, March - Emma Lightbown, Fashion Stylist & Presenter
After 20 years on set, Emma’s perspective is clear. Creative work is collaborative. Campaigns succeed because multiple roles align, not because one person shines.

The #STYLISAFoundHers Series, March - Emma Lightbown, Fashion Stylist & Presenter
In an era where influence can be monetised at speed, alignment is what protects credibility. Emma’s filter isn’t complicated.

Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of interviewing twelve remarkable women through the #STYLISAFoundHers platform.
Different industries. Different journeys. Different motivations.

The #STYLISAFoundHers Series, March - Emma Lightbown, Fashion Stylist & Presenter
The word gradually matters. Emma didn’t pivot impulsively. She built capacity first. Relationships. Skill. Trust.

When I launched #FoundHerFundHers, I knew it needed to exist. What I didn’t fully anticipate was what it would do to me. #STYLISAFoundHers

The #STYLISAFoundHers Series, February - Ngunan Adamu, Founder of iWoman Academy
This cuts through a tired narrative. The issue has never been that women don’t speak up. It’s that systems decide who gets heard, repeated, funded and believed.

The #STYLISAFoundHers FundHers Series, February - Michelle Grant, Income Protection Specialist
When it comes to financial protection, health and long-term security, women are still encouraged to wait, defer, or downplay their own needs.

The #STYLISAFoundHers Series, February - Ngunan Adamu, Founder of iWoman Academy
When Black women are resourced, trusted and given room to lead, the impact ripples outward. Families stabilise. Communities strengthen. Futures expand.

Why I Am Building My Own Table
#STYLISAFoundHers exists because I no longer want to place my faith in systems that have repeatedly shown themselves to be unsafe for so many. It exists because I am building something durable rather than reactive.

The #STYLISAFoundHers Series, February - Ngunan Adamu, Founder of iWoman Academy
This is a recurring theme across so many of my conversations. Waiting for permission often keeps people stuck.

The #STYLISAFoundHers Series, February - Ngunan Adamu, Founder of iWoman Academy CIC
Some women are using media to build visibility, confidence, community and cultural change. Ngunan is one of those women.

The #STYLISAFoundHers Series, January - Farirai Gora, Founder of We are Eden
Perfection can keep us quiet for far too long, especially women, especially when we’re doing something new or unfamiliar.
Sitting on an idea? This is your nudge to take action.

The #STYLISAFoundHers Series, January - Farirai Gora, Bsc, Dip CII, CSPO, Founder of We are Eden
This really stayed with me. So often we only celebrate founders once they’ve “arrived”, as if the work before that moment doesn’t count.

The #STYLISAFoundHers Series, January - Farirai Gora, Founder of We are Eden
This is the moment where conviction kicks in. Farirai could have kept climbing the corporate ladder, but instead, she chose to build a new system entirely.

There are years where you gather, years where you build, and years where you realise you’ve quietly crossed a threshold without announcing it to anyone. For me, 2025 was all three. #STYLISAFoundHers

Some opportunities don’t circle back by accident. They arrive when you’re ready for them. In this month’s #STYLISAFoundHers interview, Lara talks about returning to Fabulous Magazine after eight years away.

#STYLISAFoundHers FundHers, December: Tara Attfield-Tomes, Founder & Managing Director, EAST VILLAGE.
Tara isn’t just part of the ecosystem, she’s helping redesign it. She’s bootstrapped, built, advised, funded, and challenged the narrative.
www.lisamaynardatem.com/post/foundhe...
Relationships are the real infrastructure of a creative career. In this month’s #STYLISAFoundHers feature, Lara reflects on a decade in fashion and the one lesson that has stayed consistent: nurture your relationships. www.lisamaynardatem.com/post/stylisa...
The #STYLISAFoundHers Series, December - Lara Grayson
Creativity works best when it isn’t forced. Lara’s joyful TikTok videos with her neighbours began as something simple, a shared laugh, a warm moment, a genuine connection.
