7 Successful, Independent Women to Follow This International Women’s Day
March is the month of the woman and with International Women’s Day right around the corner, we thought we’d spread some love and positivity. The 8th of March is a day to celebrate all achievements of women, whether that be socially, politically, culturally or economically.
If you’re in need of some motivation and inspiration, then look no further! These days, Instagram is full to the brim of successful and independent women, so we’ve compiled a list of some of our faves. We always turn to these accounts when we’re in need of a pick-me-up. It’s all about girl power!
Grace Beverley
The ultimate girl boss. Grace fast became one of the most sought-after fitness influencers online and took the industry by storm, all whilst studying for a law degree at Oxford University. Proving that girls really can do it all, Grace graduated from university and turned her passion and side project into an empire. Grace is the founder of three brands, B_ND, TALA and Shreddy, - providing consumers with premium quality gym equipment, high-performance, ethical sportswear and even a fitness app. In 2019, Grace won the Natwest’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the influence she has had on sustainable fashion. All of this was achieved by the young age of 23!

Followed by thousands with an award-winning blog, a best-selling fashion book and a string of hugely successful brand collaborations, there seemingly isn’t anything that Vic can’t do. Inspiring thousands of women from around the world, Vic is a fashion force to be reckoned with.
Chessie King
The epitome of all things happiness and positivity, Chessie King is an influencer that everyone needs to follow for a spot of inspiration.

Encouraging women to love and embrace their bodies, Chessie is often found dancing around like nobody’s watching, sharing unfiltered snaps in her bikini. Flying the flag for women everywhere, Chessie is the Queen of female empowerment and is about to release her very first book, all about the truths of being a female, titled Be Your Own Best Friend.
Lucy Mecklenburgh
Lucy has made her mark as a business woman and entrepreneur within the health and fitness industry after she launched her very own brand, Results Wellness Lifestyle, formerly known as Results With Lucy. She’s created a safe and supportive space for both men and women wanting to embark upon a fitness journey. Promoting self-love, Lucy has shared her pregnancy with her millions of followers, encouraging others to embrace their new body shape. Alongside this, Lucy has shared pregnancy-safe workouts to keep everybody happy and healthy. We’re sure she will continue to be an independent powerhouse as she becomes a first-time mum.
Ashley James
Ashley James is a popular presenter, DJ and influencer and over recent years, she has become a voice for female empowerment and body positivity. Fiercely independent and successful, Ashley is a firm believer that sexiness is a state of mind and not an exterior shell.

This is the kind of positivity we need on our Instagram feeds!
Olivia Bowen
Olivia Bowen is Love Island royalty and since leaving the villa, she has become a social media icon. She really can do it all - running a business, renovating a house, looking after two gorgeous pups and being one of the most sought-after influencers online, Olivia proves that anything is possible. Although her feed may be filled with gorgeous holiday snaps and luxurious outfits, Olivia is honest with her fans and documents the lows, as well as all of life’s highs. This is exactly what we need to see across social media.
