12 January 2017 was a very important day for me and a very special group of young girls who had just completed a 10-week-long Mosaic Primary School Mentoring Programme.
Graduation Day
I got involved with the Mosaic mentoring programme earlier this year after a period of reflection and a period of redefining my future.

We get settled in the room and my stomach sinks; I am the youngest person here!
60:1:10 – Journal of a Mosaic Mentor – Oh my! What have I signed up for?

60:1:10 – Journal of a Mosaic Mentor – Should I be a mentor?

Being the change you want to see in society
How do you begin to share what it means to be a force for positive change, to a group of 9 and 10 year old girls?
Role models and mentoring helping young people believe
As a primary school pupil, many many years ago, my dreams of becoming a journalist, were just that, dreams.
