Malunga ne-redrosethorns
i-redrosethorns yaqala njengevenkile ye-intanethi ethengisa amakhandlela agalelwe ngesandla, ukususela ngo-2020. Injongo yethu yayikukuba ekugqibeleni senze indawo apho sinokuxhobisa abanye ngemfundo kwimiba efana nempilo yengqondo, izenzo zokuzinyamekela, kunye nesini / ngokwesondo. Sikholelwa ekulinganeni kwaye siyaqonda ukuba kukho ukuntsonkotha koluntu okusibuyisela umva kwaye kusigcina sahlulelene kwaye silawulwa yinkqubo yoosolusapho. Sikholelwa ukuba enye indlela yokuqhubela phambili nokuqhawula la matyathanga, kukusebenzisa imfundo, ulwazi, ukuziphilisa, kunye noluntu.
Ngalo msebenzi engqondweni, i-redrosethorns inikezela ngeenkonzo zokuqeqesha, isebenzisa iindlela zonyango lokuziphatha kwengqondo (CBT) ukufundisa abantu indlela yokunxibelelana neziqu zabo ezingundoqo, kwaye sinikezela ngeeworkshops malunga neendlela zokuzinyamekela ukuze bakhe ukuzixabisa kwabo. Sikwabonelela ngamathuba opapasho - ngemagazini yethu yonyaka kunye nejenali ye-intanethi - ukukhuthaza abantu ukuba bathethe kwaye bavakalise amazwi abo. Amabali ethu ayinto esidibanisayo, kodwa kwakhona yintoni esinika amandla ukuba sihambe siye kwicala elihambelana ngakumbi nokuba singubani, ixabiso lethu, kunye nezinto esizithandayo. Kungale nto apho sinokuthi siqalise ukudiliza i-patriarchy, umntu omnye oxhotyisiweyo, kunye nokuxhobisa uluntu ngexesha.

Goodenough College and the Worshipful Company of World Traders host International Women's Day 2023
In honour of International Women's Day 2023, Kirsty Anne Richards was invited by the Worshipful Company of World Traders to discuss the topic 'Women Who Change the World.' Throughout history, women have made significant strides in this endeavour, yet there remains much ground to cover. Kirsty Anne explored the nexus between bolstering one's mental well-being and fostering inclusivity across all genders as pivotal components in the march toward societal progress.
She spoke about her personal struggles with imposter syndrome, strongly influenced by society's pervasive gender double standards, and shared her triumph over these internal challenges, ultimately achieving success. Furthermore, Kirsty Anne shed light on the misconception that feminism is often framed as solely a women's issue when, in reality, patriarchal norms adversely affect all genders.
