From a young age I felt like I wasn’t worthy, wasn’t deserving of goodness and should be happy with the scraps that I get. I tried that for a while but it wasn’t good enough for me. I decided to fight the odds, battle the obstacles and not give in, because I deserved more than that. People tried in their own ways to hold me back by kicking me down, but they weren’t stronger than my hope and courage. My hope kept me going and my courage got me through. The tables turned and here we are, as I celebrate being awarded my MBE with you Life taught me that, no dream is too big, so dream as big as you can and live a life of purpose! Don’t give in, keep fighting because you are worth it
