For Sita Sargeant, the visionary behind She Shapes History, being recognised as ACT's Young Australian of the Year was the catalyst that propelled her business and her cause to new heights.
The unexpected nomination coincided with an era of explosive growth, launching what Ms Sargeant described as "the biggest and in many ways the most challenging and testing" year of her life.
She launched She Shapes History aiming to amplify women's voices and to rectify the lack of recognition for their historical contributions through interactive walking tours, such as their flagship "Badass Women of" series.
