this talk: is about embracing disfigurements and learning to flourish- with Sylvia Mac
I campaign to raise awareness for people with visible & hidden differences such as scarring, health and skin conditions. I challenge the fashion industry, brands, Media and society to be more Diverse & Inclusive.
this talk: is about the perception of mental health within the military - with James Elliott
My Vlog is about my experience of my own mental health issues within the British Army. I use this opportunity to speak as freely and as honestly as I encourage others to do.
this talk: is about self care and the power of therapy - with Nyome Williams
I find it comforting and helpful to speak up about mental health in general and my own struggles because it is freeing for me and it can be helpful to anyone else that struggles with their mental health.
this talk: is about exposing vulnerabilities and taking back control - with Dave Cottrell
The fitness industry is a great place to hide an eating disorder, and also a great place to hide mental health. I trained as a Personal Trainer and all the while feeling the immense pressure to live up to what I "should" look like.
this talk: is about endometriosis and reproductive struggles as a female - with Samantha Denae
I've overcame the mental traumas and anxiety of my period and having a reproductive condition like Endometriosis. I allowed for it to plague my view of myself as a woman, but I had to learn that it's not my fault and I'm a woman regardless of my condition. I had to learn to love me.
