Focus areas
Straight-talking advocacy rooted in real life
My work started with campaigning on menopause awareness, but it soon became obvious the problem was much bigger than that. Across women’s health, too many of us are being fobbed off, left waiting or told to just get on with it.
That’s what I write and speak about — the gap between what women are experiencing and what the system is willing to hear.
If you want politics and public debate that doesn’t feel distant or full of jargon, you’re in the right place.
