JW3 Girls’ Speed Mentoring Morning
The event gave the girls an opportunity to meet inspiring Jewish women from a diverse range of industries, ask questions, hear about different career journeys and consider the possibilities available to them in the future.
The girls had the opportunity to meet 4 women working across a wide range of professions and career paths, including:
- Angela Cohen MBE – Chair of the 45 Aid Society and Holocaust educator
- Badannie Gee – Previously worked at the BBC and is now a baker
- Becky Kendall – Psychotherapist
- Caroline Ratner – Communications expert and CEO of UK Natal

- Jemma Last – Former JW3 Families Programmer and ADHD coach
- Jenny Afia – Lawyer
- Kelsey Ainhorn – Special educational needs development

The breadth of experience represented was particularly valuable, exposing the girls to careers in healthcare, law, finance, media, broadcasting, communications, education, mental health, the creative industries and community work. They also heard from women whose careers had taken unexpected turns, demonstrating that professional journeys do not always follow a conventional or predictable route.
