#METOO

There I was, standing outside on the street. I had just been fired. But the strange thing? I was standing there with a big smile, insanely proud of myself. Because I had stayed true to myself and to my values.

What I didn’t expect was the smear campaign that followed. Suddenly, I was labelled the problem — difficult, a liar, an impossible person to work with.

All because I had simply said ‘no’ to a married man who clearly wanted more than just to work together.

And that’s when I realised: #MeToo

I dedicate Mountain to all women and men who have had to endure the same thing.
Be a Mountain — one day you’ll be insanely proud that you stood your ground.
