Let me share more about my background. I was born in the United Kingdom and grew up on a council estate with my mother, brother, and two sisters, making a total of four siblings in our family. I attended a school called Goldings before moving on to Lings.

From an early age, it became evident that I had challenges with ADHD and dyslexia. Throughout my school years, I consistently found myself in the special needs class. I struggled to concentrate and often disrupted the class, leading me to spend time in the headmaster's or headmistress's office. In those days, fear wasn't something that occupied my thoughts until I reached around the age of 25. Reflecting back, I am astounded by my naivety and how trusting I was. Life has a way of teaching us lessons as we grow.

As of 2023, there are six generations of my family living, which is quite remarkable. My mother is of mixed race, and I have relatives in Baltimore. It's incredible how journeys unfold and how our voices are shaped by the influences and experiences we encounter. Unfortunately, I have only met my father once in my life. During that meeting, he expressed that he had been praying for me throughout his life. Interestingly, I replaced him with God in my own life, as I never had a male figure present. After my father, my mother did not enter into a relationship with another man, so my brother became a significant role model for me. I hold deep love and admiration for him, as well as for my sisters Violet and Marie. My mother, of course, holds a special place in my heart.

That's a glimpse into my background, showcasing some of the important aspects that have shaped me as a person.
