A white woman, Sophie Walker, with brown hair and blue eyes is looking directly at the camera. She is waring pink lipstick and a blue v-neck with pink flowers. She's standing against a wooden backdrop—perhaps a door or a panelled wall.

She is co-founder of Activate – now FundHer, an arm of ElectHer – which gives financial support to women from minoritised communities to stand for political office; and the author of Five Rules For Rebellion: Let’s Change the World Ourselves.
