Twenty years in classrooms watching bright young women fade.
Then a lifetime spent making sure it stops.
Biography
Teaching the world
to believe.
Anita spent over 20 years in secondary schools. Bright, capable, curious young women — and yet year after year, she watched confidence fade. That experience became the engine for everything she built next.
In 2021 she was awarded an MBE for services to diversity and female empowerment, including her work tackling female genital mutilation, menstrual discrimination, and human trafficking.
Today she leads Inner Spark, targeting one million young people by 2030. She is also Chair of The Goyal Foundation, VP and Board Trustee at Barnardo's UK, and an Ambassador of the Alzheimer's Society.
Inner Spark
Young People by 2030
This is not motivational speaking. It is the practical, intentional work of helping young people clarify what they want, build the confidence to pursue it, and understand that their future is not determined by their postcode.

Impact Stories
Voices from the
programme.
I walked into that workshop not believing I had anything to offer. I left knowing exactly what I wanted to do with my life. That clarity changed everything for me.
Anita speaks to young women in a way that makes them feel genuinely seen. The ripple effect in our school has been remarkable — students are more ambitious, more vocal, more themselves.
Nobody had ever told me that where I came from didn't have to define where I was going. That single idea unlocked something in me that I don't think I'll ever be able to switch off.

Enquire about bookingI began my career in classrooms. Much of what I have created has happened through clarity, patience, and conscious choice. Manifestation is not wishful thinking. It is knowing what you want and taking responsibility for creating it.
