“As a mama of two daughters, I am constantly fighting to leave this world better than I found it - not only for them, but for every single person in the world and for the next generations of girls to come.

The actress reflected on her company Honest, and how she often faced rejection in the pitching rooms full of men. “I often wonder how it would have gone if I were in front of VCs that were female-led or focused on female founders,” she wrote.

“At the end of the day, we’ve come a long way, but we still have a lot of work to do.
