17:00PM, THURSDAY APRIL 7TH 2022 - BIRMINGHAM, WEST MIDLANDS, UNITED KINGDOM

I am personally chuffed to share, that I will forming part of a special book which tells the stories of people like me; in helping to mark the 20th anniversary of one of the West Midlands most empowering advocacy charity's!

Changing Our Lives - launched in 2002 by Jayne Leeson MBE was awarded funding by the National Lottery Heritage Fund in Autumn 2021, to produce a book sharing the oral histories of ethnically diverse disabled people and which will celebrate the positive impact that being involved in COL's work has had for us.

The book will be displayed at the Black Cultural Archive, Brixton from Mid-July onwards, with details on that to be confirmed in due course.

I want to express my wholehearted appreciation to Jayne and the whole team at COL, for giving me and some other wonderful humans such a extraordinary opportunity and I cannot wait to shout about a publication - which will purely demonstrate that No One is Too Disabled, to Lead an Ordinary Life!
