Valentina‬‭ Rebeschini‬‭ founder of Photography‬‭ by‬‭ Valentina,‬‭ Twickenham‬‭ has‬‭ been‬‭ crowned‬‭ one‬‭ of‬ the UK's most impressive female entrepreneurs by Small Business Britain's '‬‭ f:‬‭ Entrepreneur #IAlso100' campaign.‬

‭Valentina,‬‭ who‬‭ founded‬‭ Photography‬‭ by‬‭ Valentina‬‭ in‬‭ 2010,‬‭ is‬‭ being‬‭ profiled‬‭ among‬‭ 100‬‭ inspirational‬‭ female‬ entrepreneurs‬‭ from‬‭ across‬‭ the‬‭ country,‬‭ as‬‭ part‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ campaign‬‭ to‬‭ celebrate‬‭ the‬‭ multi-achievements‬‭ of‬‭ women‬ running businesses in the UK.

‭The‬‭ f‬‭ :Entrepreneur‬‭ '#IAlso100'‬‭ line-up‬‭ particularly‬‭ showcases‬‭ trailblazing‬‭ female‬‭ founders‬‭ who‬‭ lead‬‭ purpose-driven‬ businesses alongside a roster of other responsibilities, such as volunteering, mentoring and community support.‬

‭Indeed,‬‭ Valentina‬‭ was‬‭ also‬‭ called‬‭ out‬‭ for‬‭ her‬‭ dedication‬‭ to‬‭ the‬‭ community‬‭ through‬‭ her‬‭ Breastfeeding‬‭ Awareness‬ Project,‬‭ where‬‭ she‬‭ captured‬‭ powerful‬‭ images‬‭ and‬‭ stories‬‭ from‬‭ mothers‬‭ to‬‭ highlight‬‭ the‬‭ realities‬‭ and‬‭ triumphs‬‭ of‬ breastfeeding. She is currently in the process of publishing a book based on this meaningful project. ‬‭

Additionally,‬‭ she‬‭ leads‬‭ an‬‭ inspiring‬‭ mission‬‭ to‬‭ help‬‭ women‬‭ over‬‭ 40‬‭ rediscover‬‭ their‬‭ confidence,‬ strength, and beauty through photography.‬

Valentina‬‭ shared‬‭ how‬‭ honoured‬‭ and‬‭ grateful‬‭ she‬‭ feels‬‭ to‬‭ be‬‭ part‬‭ of‬‭ this‬‭ list‬‭ of‬‭ inspiring‬‭ women.‬‭ She‬‭ sees‬‭ the‬ accolade‬‭ as‬‭ a‬‭ recognition‬‭ for‬‭ all‬‭ women‬‭ who‬‭ juggle‬‭ numerous‬‭ roles—not‬‭ just‬‭ in‬‭ their‬‭ work,‬‭ but‬‭ also‬‭ within‬‭ their‬ families and communities.‬

On‬‭ being‬‭ featured‬‭ in‬‭ the‬‭ #ialso100‬‭ lineup,‬‭ Valentina‬‭ said:‬‭ "I‬‭ am‬‭ honoured‬‭ to‬‭ be‬‭ included‬‭ in‬‭ this‬‭ inspiring‬‭ community‬ of‬‭ women.‬‭ This‬‭ recognition‬‭ reinforces‬‭ my‬‭ passion‬‭ for‬‭ photography‬‭ and‬‭ its‬‭ profound‬‭ ability‬‭ to‬‭ preserve‬‭ memories,‬ empower individuals, and impact their lives.‬

Launched‬‭ in‬‭ 2017‬‭ by‬‭ Small‬‭ Business‬‭ Britain‬ – the‬‭ leading‬‭ champion‬‭ of‬‭ small‬‭ businesses‬‭ in‬‭ the‬‭ UK‬‭ - the f‬‭:Entrepreneur‬‭ campaign‬‭ aims‬‭ to‬‭ raise‬‭ greater‬‭ awareness‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ impact‬‭ of‬‭ incredible‬‭ female‬‭ business‬‭ owners‬‭ across‬ the country, and help provide inspiration and role models to the wider small business community.‬

‭ The‬‭ campaign‬‭ offers‬‭ a‬‭ host‬‭ of‬‭ events,‬‭ training,‬‭ and‬‭ networking‬‭ opportunities‬‭ to‬‭ boost‬‭ skills,‬‭ capability,‬‭ and‬ confidence.‬

‭ "It's wonderful to have Valentina from Photography by Valentina‬‭ featured in this year's #IAlso100 –‬‭ all of the female‬ entrepreneurs in this year's line-up are simply phenomenal,"‬‭ said Michelle Ovens CBE, founder of Small Business‬ Britain.‬

‭"It‬‭ is‬‭ vital‬‭ that‬‭ we‬‭ recognise‬‭ the‬‭ impressive‬‭ contribution‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ UK's‬‭ female‬‭ business‬‭ owners‬‭ and‬‭ do‬‭ all‬‭ we‬‭ can‬‭ to‬ support‬‭ and‬‭ encourage‬‭ them‬‭ throughout‬‭ their‬‭ entrepreneurial‬‭ journey,‬‭ from‬‭ start-up‬‭ to‬‭ scale-up.‬‭ As‬‭ well‬‭ as‬‭ making‬‭ a‬ huge‬‭ economic‬‭ contribution‬‭ to‬‭ the‬‭ UK,‬‭ female‬‭ entrepreneurs‬‭ also‬‭ create‬‭ a‬‭ wider‬‭ positive‬‭ impact‬‭ that‬‭ ripples‬‭ across‬ society and local communities too."‬‭
