What is your life motto?

Some people can be a bit hard to deal with, but I’ve never met a biscuit I didn’t like.

Who inspires you?

Bette Midler.

If we all took a few minutes each day to think about Bette, there would be no war.

How do you support LGBTI+ young people?

Fundraising for BelongTo allows me to see the phenomenal work that’s done to impact and improve the lives of young LGBTI+ people and it’s such a privilege to be involved.
