The last 18 months have been the most challenging months of my life and I say this with complete transparency, there were times when I thought I had hit rock bottom and questioned my ability to keep picking myself up. Despite every hurdle I have overcome each and remained positive and resilient and I have achieved some unbelievably incredible things in this same period; I have successfully launched my own business. I have designed, built & launched my own website. I overcame a huge insecurity for me and went back to school. I studied for and passed my Level 2 Group Exercise to Music Fitness Qualification with flying colours. I have been nominated and even shortlisted for a number of prestigious awards. I placed 3rd in the 75th Anniversary year of Miss Great Britain and I am returning in September in an attempt to take home the title of Ms Great Britain 2021. I have continued with my philanthropic work throughout the period to raise money and awareness for several charitable causes such as Cancer Research UK and Alex's Wish. These wins have kept me focussed and driven and allowed me to channel my grief into positivity. My mother taught me to remain resilient and tenacious in the face of adversity and to never give up on my dreams and goals. All I have ever wanted was to positively change people's lives, or to make enough of an impact to help them achieve success in their own right. Helping other people succeed is one of life's simplest jobs. Empowering and inspiring others is free and yet it has immense potential to change people's lives. That is what being a role model is. It is using your platform to uplift others and evoke positive change. This award encompasses this opportunity wholly and to even be nominated fills me with pride. If I have ever made any impact on you in any way, please consider endorsing my nomination by sharing a comment on the link below.
