Anita Roddick

I am truly saddened to hear of the death of Anita Roddick. She died yesterday of a massive brain haemorrhage aged only 64 years old.

This woman pioneered fair-trade, human rights, beauty without cruelty… All this and still she made a fortune. She worked for feminism by getting her hands dirty, by challenging the male-dominated world of business with her fair-minded ethics and humanitarian integrity. She was the best role-model a girl could have when I was younger.

I mourn her loss, yet celebrate her achievements. There’s a new and very bright star in the skies tonight.
