Flora is a fitness and food blogger based in London and our first Mio Strong Woman this International Women’s Day.
She loves boxing, running and anything fitness related. Flora recently fronted our Month of Mio campaign and has just returned from running the Tokyo marathon. Flora is all about a healthy lifestyle and strong mind rather than fitness fads and throw-away health trends and is an inspiration to a new generation of strong women, using her Instagram as a platform for empowerment.
I think Instagram has introduced me to some of the most inspirational women I’ve ever met, and for that I thank it. Social media has given so many people a platform to share what they find important, and I’ve found many people that I now look up to that way. Examples include Dolly Alderton (author of ‘Everything I Know About Love’), Adrienne Herbert (runner extraordinaire and host of the Power Hour podcast) and Jazmin Sawyers (GB athlete, singer and presenter who all inspire me because of their incredible work ethics and attitudes towards life!
“If you have something important to say and a platform to say it, that’s enough, and I love that attitude.”
Adrienne especially, because she is a mum and STILL does all the amazing things she does. I also think Sonny Turner (model) and Chidera Eggerue (aka @theslumflower and author of ‘What A Time To Be Alone’) have totally smashed the mould and shown everyone that you don’t have to come from a certain background or look a certain way to be successful. If you have something important to say and a platform to say it, that’s enough, and I absolutely love that attitude!
