I became a freelance social media, events and PR consultant two months before becoming a widow. Come along and ride the 🌊 with me.
I wear many hats including being a TEDx organiser & creating content about 🍻 and safer spaces in hospitality.

I’ve done an incredibly vunerable post on Tik Tok this morning about the massive hole in in.
