If you don’t know me already or heard of the work we do, let me tell you where it all started.  As the founder of ‘I am More’ it was only on maternity leave that I truly felt ready to explore this journey. The time it gave me away from the every day hustle of a busy sales role and targets, aloud me the space to evaluate where my passion lay. 

I knew that in a blink of an eye, I’d look back and question where the time went and regret not following my own dreams. It was in that moment, I knew that the imperfect me needed to stand tall and use my strength and passion to deliver the change I want to see for my children and the generations to come.     

As a child, I was always referred to as the old head on young shoulders. What wasn’t recognised was that I never wanted that title, but nobody understood that I had no choice. From around 4 years old (maybe younger) my life was a daily battle of survival with my close influencers being addicts. With any addiction then poverty, domestic violence and many other things can go hand in hand. In hindsight then I do wonder how we escaped the system, why social services never took us away? In the grand scheme of things, I am happy they didn’t, it makes me who I am today and drives the courage, strength and sheer determination each and every day to be more and to provide more.
