She is everybody's online bestie with style to die for and real talk to make you laugh until your ribs hurt. While her platform started with her documenting her travels to the most beautiful destinations around the world with her friends and family, she is now the founder of Gals Who Graduate, an online community for young female graduates who are trying to navigate life as twenty-something-year-olds. The group started on Facebook in 2019 when Brontë saw a gap in the internet landscape for a support platform that focussed on graduates and young female professionals specifically. Since then, the group has grown membership of over seventy-five thousand on Facebook and over forty-three thousand on Instagram, hosting online socials and talks with recruiters and brands who are hiring graduates. Brontë started the sub group, Gals Who Travel, in 2022. By sharing her own travels it was apparent her followers were interested in joining her and like-minded females to explore new places. Brontë partnered with TruTravels to provide safe female only trips which have so far launched in Bali and Thailand, with more destinations being announced for 2023.
