Michelle Thomas made international headlines in 2015 when a blog she wrote about the abuse she received on a date was read by more than 400,000 people.
Since then she has worked in live comedy, opera, theatre and television. Here she vlogs for The Huffington Post UK on why women need to look out for one another and the power of sisterhood - especially when it comes to confidence.
