I started life being born into a disadvantage family who were poor and birth my parents were deaf & dumb and I was the 1st of 5 children.

My parents divorced and i then went into children's homes and foster care. From there I was recognized at school for having an amazing singing voice and went to Christchurch Cathedral School where I won a bursary


I then moved into my grandparents who adopted me and my brother, I then went on to complete my GCSE's and A levels but then decided to go into working with homeless adolescents and I then went back to university and studied events,music and media management degree.

I later went onto working with record labels and became an Artist Manager and Events Manager and work with Artist and Show Models to show case events. I thoroughly enjoyed the job but the money was not viable financially.

I previously have done a lot of travelling and have visited 23 countries and enjoy learning about different cultures and societies so decide to teach English as a foreign language and this way i found supplement my income whilst I was travelling.

All this time from the age of 5 I knew I was trapped in the wrong body which was burning in the back of my mind, fear of abandonment, nobody would understand me, change and kept my feeling s trapped away for years and thought it was a bout time I faced my demons.

At the age of 28, I began Transitioning from Male to Female, in 2012 I began taking Female Hormones and have undertaken a Number of Surgeries with my transition, I am now an advocate on Trans Issues and want to help broaden peoples Understanding & Education on Trans Issues.

I am delighted to join the Huffington Post and have also recently set up a channel on you tube relating to Transgender Issues and My Journey as a Transwoman in the United Kingdom.
