The courage
to be ourselves.
Honest stories about identity, belonging and learning to work with the life we have.
Lived experience.
An open conversation.
I speak from my own experience of living with myoclonus dystonia, finding my voice and discovering communities where I feel I belong.
My stories connect experiences from writing, wheelchair football and humanitarian volunteering. They make space to think about how we see ourselves — and how we make room for other people.
We can shape the focus for your school, workplace, community group or event. Here are some of the conversations we can explore.
From my story
to a shared reflection.
Brave enough to be myself
Self-acceptance, identity and the pressure to fit in. What changes when we begin to own the things that make us different?
Belonging through community
What wheelchair football and shared experiences have taught me about connection, participation and being part of a team.
Living with a Jerk
Honest reflections on life with a movement condition, with space for humour, difficult moments and a fuller picture of everyday life.
Compassion in everyday life
Learning through volunteering, listening to other people and finding practical ways to show up for one another.
My voice,
before the event.
