In this blog, I want to share my personal experiences and insights into how dyslexia have empowered me to think differently, persevere through adversity, and contribute to raising awareness about dyslexia.

Overcoming hurdles is second nature to individuals with dyslexia. My personal experience has taught me that every setback is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and emerge stronger. This resilience has been a cornerstone in my entrepreneurial ventures

Through my initiatives like Dyslexia Show and SEND Group, I aim to drive awareness about dyslexia and empower individuals with dyslexia to embrace their strengths.
