More role models! Watch our inspiring video of Samantha Cristoforetti, the only active female astronaut in Europe meeting young girls from Germany, UK, France and Italy at the European Space Agency Astronaut centre in Cologne, Germany, where they spent time shadowing her and then quizzing her about her extraordinary day job.
IMAGINING SHE CAN BE ANYTHING IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
ACTUALLY SEEING THAT SHE CAN MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

Nicola Adams OBE
Boxing ChampionNicola Adams OBE
Boxing Champion, UK
2018 Barbie Shero
Nicola Adams OBE was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire on October 26, 1982. She is Great Britain's most successful female boxer of all time and the first female ever to win a gold medal in boxing. The two-time gold medalist is the only female boxer in the history of the sport to have held all four amateur titles.
She fought and won her first bout at the age of 13, the same year the ban on women’s boxing was lifted in the UK. In 2003, she became the English amateur champion for the first time, and she retained the title at the next three championships. Nicola struggled to continue her boxing career due to lack of funds. She worked as an acting extra on soap operas and was a builder before the International Committee backed funding for women’s boxing in 2009.
