Creasy: “Powerlessness is what holds us back”

Stella Creasy MP for Walthamstow gave an impassioned speech at Twitter HQ last week, where she told the audience that impatience is a virtue and that each of us have to face up to the choices of our generation, not leave it to someone else.

She explained “the only thing that really scares me is when people say change isn’t possible…stop worrying – the world isn’t ready and waiting, it’s ready and changing but how is changes…that’s up to you.”
