Andy is a walking bundle of inspiration to anyone who meets her. “We live in a time where women’s voices and their presence in all spaces is vital to the survival and improvement of our society. It is through the sharing of our stories that we liberate ourselves as well as each other. Our magic lies in being unapologetic and unashamed of our stories, and truly being able to say “I am EVERY woman”.
