Happy Birthday Sir Richard Branson

Happy Birthday Richard Branson❤️

Many people wonder why for a decade I launched the publicity stunt, My Heart Belongs To Branson and it’s not what you think.


Whilst I admire Sir Richard immensely, I was never in love with you per se, it was because many Virgin companies were using burlesque in their marketing and I wanted help to elevate burlesque and get mentoring for my own ideas.

Did you know it worked and last year I was selected as one of 20 entrepreneurs in the Virgin StepUp programme with a tangible business idea ready to scale?


So today it’s 10 years since my Happy Birthday Sir Richard Branson video and I re-releasing it as I would like to thank you for creating mentoring to help entrepreneurs like me.

As my knowledge about Virgin grew after launching the initial video in 2013, I realised I could get the help I was looking for because I moved to London and discovered Virgin StartUp I’ve been to so many incubator sessions, think tank groups and online zoom sessions. Thank you so much for supporting entrepreneurs like me.

My family think I’m crazy pouring all I’ve got into my company but burlesque is my oxygen.

You’ve been such an exemplary leader over the decade that I’ve gotten closer to you because of My Heart Belongs to Branson and my admiration for you has grown so much more.

Today I’m giving you the gift of a song and dedication from the shoes of The Hoe in Plymouth but you’ve given me the gift of being a flamboyant risk-taker and embracing failure because you so boldly lead by example.

PS. I will be starting an Equity Crowdfunding campaign in November for World Burlesque Academy. Anyone can submit interest in becoming a non-voting shareholder in my company by emailing info@worldburlesqueacademy with the words ‘Shareholder Interest Please’ in the title.
