Welcome back to Grace.

Why not take a breather from the heat and enjoy reading some of these inspirational stories from around the country. This week we take a look at the world of business and work with stories of how women are changing perceptions and using their positions to help others. This includes Laura Grant and Stacey Green who started their own business because they wanted children to see themselves represented.

See you next week.
