personal projects
Under the title of the Finding Empowerment project, I seek out untold stories of sport and adventure and create short films. For me, these films are part of my constant learning and give me the opportunity to help raise the profile of people whos' stories we rarely hear. Jennifer Gattrell was the goalie for the Welsh Homeless World Cup Team in Cardiff 2019 and describes how football has helped her through difficult times. Sophie Kamlish is a Paralympic sprinter, she explains her frustration at being described as brave and how running has enriched her life.
