My story
I am driven to contribute towards social impact; whether through action or education. I want to see social justice become a reality for us all.
I recognise I need to stop being quiet out of fear in order to elevate not just my voice, but also amplify the voices and experiences of others who may not otherwise have the opportunity, platform or readiness to do so for themselves. I want to allow myself to be seen and heard and express myself for healing and recognise my stories could help others and perhaps, one day, be compelling enough to plant seeds for action.

I have “always wanted to be a writer” but was told that it wasn’t a safe nor viable aspiration. I came to accept and feel this way too. I need to defy this. I look back now and I question if, instead I had found and developed more “acceptable” ways to channel my urges to write. Now, I commit myself to breaking away from writing exclusively “for others”, in ways that the dominant culture tells us is acceptable. I want to allow My Voice to be present and available. I want to support others to see that their voices are valid and valuable.
I am committed to being a part of a brighter future for all.
