My wonderful friend and business partner Sev, sent this in the post today for me to have as a holiday read.
‘Exposing data bias in a world designed for men’
Anyone who knows me will know that with Mood insights I want to make sure that this is about uncovering and filling those data gaps so that the world can serve women better, and it’s not about dissing men in any way.
My ‘pro men’ flag could not be flying any higher. I’m a mum to 3 boys, surrounded by good men in my life (and yes, of course I’ve encountered the not so good). I want to make sure my boys futures are bright and well served, but we can’t ignore that that’s not always been the case for women. That’s why MOOD was born.
The book arrived just as I was dashing down to the Turkish barbers with my three boys. A testosterone filled space that I’ve frequented and been welcome at for many many years (they have more hair appointments than I do a year!)
This felt like a nice place to read the Preface. Being sat in a ‘male space’, offered a cold drink in the heat, 30 mins peace (with the white noise of clippers) to read about areas where we can do better for women; while these lovely guys pamper my guys (yes, the eldest has discovered the hot towel bit!) 😂
I truly believe that if we start to get this right, EVERYONE will benefit.
At MOOD we’ve just launched our UK Women in Work survey. A project designed to find out more about women's experiences and expectations in the workplace.
Please check out the main page Mood insights to find out more about how we’re using this survey to support women, or click on the link below to complete the survey.

Feel free to share this post/the survey (whether you’re male or female - we appreciate support from you all!)
Thank you as always, Morwenna@MOOD
