Thrilled to be an #iWill Ambassador! ✨💛

I'll use my disabled, neurodiverse, care-experienced, and estranged background to empower youth & drive social change. Excited to join 1000 changemakers & influence policy. #PowerOfYouth #JoinTheMovement

Great day at the @childreninscotland.bsky.social conference in Glasgow speaking on the panel about stigma and the importance of addressing unconscious bias through my work with @careexpmovement.bsky.social

Feel free to add me if you’d like to connect as unfortunately I won’t be there tomorrow.

Puffin portrait. 🧡

From now until July, puffins nest in burrows along Scotland's coastal islands and cliff tops. If you’re near a puffin colony, settle in and watch these little acrobats from a distance as they zip back and forth between their burrows. 👀

For a second forget about the Friday feeling. What's more important is how you're really feeling.

Just me and my dissertation in hand ✨. Statistically only 14% of CEP go to university and even less make it to graduation. I continue to fight for this to change and for young people to be heard in every room.

Gender inequality and poverty fuel a toxic cycle — but breaking it benefits everyone. When women thrive, economies grow, and societies become stronger.

We are hoping to keep the momentum for the Mandela+20 Make Poverty History event going for the Walking the Talk campaign team that I’m part of. The more engagement we get the higher we can push up on MP priorities to advocate for global aid. Thank you ☺️.
