I started writing my blog back in 2014 when I had a precious year off work to allegedly look after my pre-school daughter. It started off as my thoughts, analysis and comments about feminist issues that were pertinent at the time. One day I decided to write about the impact of growing up in a family with a violent and abusive perpetrator, and this started to shift things into a slightly different zone. Slowly my writing has transformed from an article format to more of a journal. I write when I need to, when I have something to tell the world that I feel could help others. I try to be authentic and real and to bust the stigma around the many issues we face as women trying to survive in a crazy patriarchal world. I soon realised that writing about feminism quickly becomes depressing when the articles I was writing back in 2016 are still as relevant today as they were then. Progress is interminably slow.

In 2023 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and my more recent posts are an attempt to capture my experience, in the hope that I can help other women, share my story and demystify something which will unfortunately happen to far too many of us.

I came off Twitter when Elon Musk got involved, so at times can find it difficult to promote my writing. I always appreciate it when people share my work online as I want as many people to read it as possible. Please leave comments if you are touched by what I write.

I’m currently in the process of attempting to write my first novel, so watch this space.
