The world is full of inspiring women who are brave, beautiful and strong; who have made a difference and whose stories have never been told. We want to hear those stories. Shout them from the rooftops. Whisper them in your ears.

We want to hear your story. 

Can you think of an inspirational woman and tell us how she inspires you?

Go to phenomenalpeople.tumblr.com to share your stories and read others', or follow #phenomenalpeople. 

We will be sharing your story, and others, at the WOW - Women of the World festival at the Southbank Centre. Join some brilliant artists live and online over the weekend. Seek us out and, spend some time, have a drink, hear a story and share your stories of inspirational women.

You can find us downstairs in the White Room. At 30 minute intervals different artists will be sharing a response to a woman who inspires them. The running order for the event is below:
