This week on the Gals FC Dream Teams podcast, Lorne and Nora meet Anita McNaught, a former foreign correspondent who has reported from some of the most dangerous places in the world.
Her story starts way back when she was a rebellious teenager who wanted to leave a chaotic home life behind, moving to New Zealand when she was just 20 years old to start over.
After forging a journalism career in New Zealand, she left to take her career to new heights, reporting for some of the world's best-known news organisations from war torn countries like Iraq, Syria and Sudan. And then gave it all up to, reluctantly at first, save the family farm in Sussex. Spoiler alert: she saved it!
Anita's story is one of taking risks and always standing up for what she believes in. Her Dream Team is made up of exceptional women, all of whom have shown kindness and bravery throughout their lives.
