I'm forever reading, writing, learning, and talking about what I'm learning.
I completed my master's degree at Goldsmiths, University of London and wrote a dissertation that combined my love of comedy and postcolonial theory. I'm in the middle of lots of projects at a time - producing my storytelling show Fun To Be Around for the Edinburgh Fringe, preparing for the Vancouver Fringe with another show with my co-creator Levana Irena, and I'm always jotting poetry, planning articles, and now sprucing up academic papers for hopeful publication. Oh and I'm a holistic health and support worker and full-spectrum doula and I love working with families.
I just did a TEDx talk about mental illness stigma and how stigma plays into, and perhaps creates, our contemporary expectations of mental illness trajectories. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frtw0CUReFA
