SCM Direct founder & Transparency Campaigner Gina Miller (L) and AllBright Co-founder Debbie Wosskow OBE (R) at the 2018 AllBright FoundHER Festival in London.

Speaking at the AllBright’s FoundHER Festival in London earlier this month, Miller explained how she learned to listen to and trust her inner voice.

She admitted, however, that it was “terrifying” when she first started to do so.

Miller described her first “big battle” — which saw her campaign for her eldest daughter who has special needs — as one where she was “terrified, every moment of doing it.”

In fact, she said she was “shaking and terrified all the way” when she attended the Article 50 court hearings.

While Miller has repeatedly said in the past that she isn’t trying to prevent or overturn Brexit, but rather give people a choice, opponents have heavily criticized the businesswoman’s voluntary involvement as the lead claimant in the legal challenge.

She has received praise, malicious messages and even death threats from the public, highlighting how conflict-ridden the topic of Brexit has become.

Yet, even with the negativity thrown her way, Miller has continued to stand strong.
