I got called “inspirational” the other day…. because I got on a train.
I know people mean well. Sometimes it comes from awkwardness, or not knowing what to say, but it isn’t a compliment.

I had the privilege of delivering the keynote speech for The Pokemon Company as part of Disability Pride Month
What a brilliant conversation with such a genuine team! We covered everything from visibility to barriers - and most importantly, why disability is something that we can find pride in

It’s always a bit nerve-racking when you release a new book because you don’t know how it will land until it’s out there 📖
Well, we smashed it!
Check out some of the lovely reviews we’ve had. Huge thank you to everyone who have shared such lovely feedback on Shoot for the Stars
Always grateful 🙏

Yay! Shoot for the Stars is now out!
I am super excited. This is the book I wanted growing up and has been inspired by talking to girls about the challenges they face getting into sport.
I really hope it helps lots of young people build confidence and have fun in sports

Come on a speech with me…
I recently had the honour of delivering the after dinner speech at @the_cisi Guernsey Annual Gala. A spectacular evening and it was great to share the highs, lows and nail biting moments that have shaped my journey so far.

A wonderful afternoon at the Buckingham Palace garden party with my Dad. Cucumber sandwiches on the lawn, a walk around the lake and front row seats to meet the King and Queen.
Thanks to the Royal Commonwealth Society for nominating me

Feeling pretty damn proud!

Disability representation in children’s books is too low. Books are a great way to experience all the different aspects of life and it goes a long way when you find people just like you on the pages. I make sure that disabled people are represented - equally - alongside the role models I spotlight 💡

As for the not-so-fun parts? I like to think of these as crucible moments where you become much stronger. Challenges show you who people really are and I am surrounded by the best kind. Thanks for playing an important part in my year - I am grateful for every kind comment and words of encouragement

I love taking some time to reflect on New Year’s Eve. 2024 has been another epic year, filled with good moments, horrible moments and everything in between. I’ve travelled to new places, made some life-changing decisions, and ticked off exciting milestones 📚🥇
