While the Women Like Us Center in Nakuru, Kenya is the current focus, we’ve come a long way delivering multiple projects across the globe: It’s not a show just for women’ says Ellen Briggs who appeared recently on Hughsey We have A Problem , ‘In the same way a comedy show by two men would never be seen as a bloke’s only show. Women Like Us is about making our experiences universal rather than ‘niche’. And as it turns out, there are a lot more Women Like Us out there then we ever realised. There’s even a growing tribe of men Like Us too!’

The author describes her love of family and her hopes of being a writer. As a young girl in school, her dreams are almost crushed when a teacher asks what the children want to be. Amanda explained her dream was to become a writer, and the teacher laughed and stated, “I hope you have a Plan B”. This resonates personally for me as a teacher who has tried to encourage many students over the years to do their best in the most positive of ways. Amanda Prowse, didn’t need a Plan B since she is a successful writer. She won numerous awards for her speaking and writing to women, including the Torchbearer Award from the State of Indiana, the highest award the states gives a woman, for her work supporting women’s work, writing, and speaking. She has hosted, directed and produced a television show on the Fox Network and a radio show on station WXNT where women have told their stories of perseverance and changing the world.
