Welcome
I’m so glad you found me! I’m Ange, a forty-something mum of a special needs boy who decided life was not challenging enough so started a PhD at the start of a pandemic! I have so many thoughts, about so many things, and writing about them seemed a good way to get them out of my head – a place they often keep me awake at night.
I am a passionate conservationist, eco-feminist, and diversity advocate, with a shameless love of sport and politics (usually in that order). I’m also a proud survivor of a severe mental health breakdown, and I will always promote healthy discussions of taming the inner black dog and breaking down barriers.
This is a safe space for whoever you are today and no matter who you were yesterday.
