Hello
I knew some years ago I would eventually share my story in order to encourage others and bring hope to their life and situations. But first, I needed to walk through some healing. One of the first things I learned in this journey, was how valuable I was - something that took me a long time to grasp. But a life of abuse and trauma will do that to a person. It will have you believing you are worthless. There were definitely deeper wounds than I initially realised, and my healing journey has spanned over a number of years. You can't rush through it and be done in a week. You need to take time to work through things layer by layer.
I've learned that when you share your story, you really need to ensure you are sharing from a place of being healed, otherwise you risk opening up old wounds every time you share, and that's not helpful for anybody. So while this was a painful process, it was absolutely necessary. A personal story is incredibly powerful, relatable, and really connects people, but it must be shared carefully and with your listeners in mind.
Booking me to speak at your event
The things I speak on, are the things I am qualified to speak on, because I have lived them. I've compiled a short list below to give you an idea of my life experiences, and you are welcome to contact me and ask more questions around a specific topic if you would like to book me for your event.
In 2026, I spoke at a number of events, including International Women's Day (IWD) gatherings, Violence against women and girls (VAWG) community events, Kent Police DA meetings, and I was the key note speaker for a silent march through Canterbury raising awareness around domestic abuse. It is such an honour to be able to be a part of events like these, and I'd say, these are definitely the areas I'm most passionate about.
With each invite, I take time to weigh up whether I feel it's the right type of event, because I recognise that although we may well have a topic in common, that doesn't necessarily mean we are aligned on said topic, or our agendas are the same. This is important to me. I don't want to walk through doors simply because they are opened for me.
Topics include;
VAWG - Stalking, harassment, sexual harassment, sexual violence (rape, sexual assault), drink spiking, up-skirting, revenge porn, coercive control, domestic abuse (physical, emotional, mental, financial)

Please send me an email with as much info as you can about your event, the nature of it, the location etc, and I will aim to reply as soon as possible.
