On International Women's Day we want to publicly celebrate and mourn the loss of our dearest friend, student and writer- Tricia Ramsay. Her death in January was sudden, unexpected and unfathomable - she was undoubtedly one of the strongest women we knew. And she wanted her work out in the world more than most, working tirelessly to make it happen. We are honoured to have been part of that journey.
