I am writing this blog to share my views, experiences, learning and observations.
I have a learnt many lessons in my 48 years through my own personal journey, my 30 years working in the Youth and Community Sector, being a single parent of two now amazing adults and a daughter of active left-wing parents.
I have been a leader in community organisations, a political campaigner, a change-maker throughout my public life and during this time
Personally, I have been affected by complex trauma which has impacted on my health and well-being. I have recently started to explore the causes of these issues and have been learning how to manage the symptoms. This is a journey of imperfections, a work in progress but an honest attempt to speak my truth about life, social issues and relationships.
I am now finding my true voice and hope that by sharing it I will shine a light for others to find their voices.
