I tell my story. I invite others to tell theirs.
A nurse, midwife, lawyer, writer and storyteller, I have spent my life working with people and telling stories that might otherwise go unheard.
Through my books, speaking, projects and conversations, I bring history, lived experience and difficult subjects into the open — because stories can change how we understand ourselves and the world around us.
Our stories need to be recorded, shared and remembered — so that together we can change the world for our children.
My own experience taught me what it means to live without a voice. I speak because nobody should have to suffer in silence.
I am a resource for helping others to liberate their voice.
Our stories should be told by us, not simply about us. When we tell our own stories, our voices can help shape the services and support that affect our lives.
