I’m Jacquelyn, a 28-year-old Londoner and committed social entrepreneur. I was born in Enfield, where I still live today.

I don’t want gender equality to be an idea. I want to make it a reality.

I work towards this every day in my work for Stemettes, which I co-founded. We’re an award-winning social enterprise that inspires girls and young women to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths (STEM).

If elected, I will implement practical measures so that the London Assembly becomes a permanent space for gender equality. It is time we embed gender equality across London.

We must teach the youth of today, and include the men of today, for all the women of tomorrow.
