About me

Byadmin

I’m a music loving mother with a passion for human rights and social justice. I’m a campaigner and advocate for children with disabilities and special educational needs. I like to be heard and I love to help others find their voice.
I’m back in college studying Media and Broadcasting, working towards my degree in Creative Media Production and I’ve been blogging about my experiences of juggling life, family and education.
I’m a fiddle player and play as often as I can. I also always like to keep a side hustle going as a volunteer.

    We had a significant birthday in our house this week. Our son with Down Syndrome turned 12. And what a 12 years it has been.  I cried in the lift heading up to the labour ward – I knew something big was about to happen. A couple heading out with their newborn, thinking I was…
