Female Founders Rise’s Post

A huge thank you to Victoria Armstrong! 💖 An incredible member of our advisory board for nearly two years! Many of you will have met Victoria, and likely her talented photographer wife Belinda, at our Female Founders Rise events. Belinda Walshe has beautifully captured countless moments at these events and was even part of our outdoor campaign celebrating female entrepreneurship (seen by over 2 million people!). 💫 Victoria's warmth and support have been invaluable at events and behind the scenes with Emmie. As they return to New Zealand, they'll be missed at FFR, but will always be part of our community. 🫂 In Victoria's words: The friendships I have made here are lifelong; an extended family of sorts. Everyone shares their skills and knowledge openly with the genuine intention it will benefit the wider community, wherever we ‘sit’ within the FFR ecosystem. I trust that my small contribution these last 2-years has added value to the FFR mission, and will continue to enable financial freedom for women through their entrepreneurial journey.” "One of my proudest memories is while I moderated a panel one evening, my wife was weaving her talents behind the camera lens and capturing the magic in the room. We were both content in our worlds doing what we love, yet doing it together. I felt so blessed and grateful to FFR in that moment." - Victoria Armstrong Thank you, Victoria, for all you've done to help our community grow and empower women-led businesses. It's incredible to see what has been achieved in such a small amount of time and its testament to all those behind the scenes who are doing such important work 🙌 We're so grateful for your support alongside Elissa Grey and Dan Bowyer. Sending you love and best wishes from all of us! 💐

Victoria Armstrong is an amazing!!! I remember my first FFR event - she welcomed me like she would an old friend, even though we’d never met each other before, now everytime I’m at an event in the community I also try to do the same for others. She held open her doors to me countless times after that especially regarding my volunteer work with UN Women UK I truly love and appreciate Victoria and I consider her a huge inspiration for me and so many other women. 💕

I feel such a mix of emotion reading this. Delighted that Victoria and Belinda are heading home; while sad as I'll miss seeing them both. A formidable duo that have contributed so much to our community. Ka kite anō, me te hiahia ka manaaki tonu i a koe xx

Thank you so much Victoria for everything - I will never forget me having a wobble and you hosting a panel for me at the last minute (and smashing it). Look how far we have come with all these incredible people supporting in the background. Sending you and the brilliant Belinda all the best ❤️
