About Me

I am the author of the Amazing Adventures of Izi and Larry children’s books series, which tells the stories of two very good friends, eight-year-old Izi, and magical, flying dinosaur, Larry – who lives in a zoo. Together, they go on wonderful adventures, where Izi and Larry learn about the history and culture of different African countries. They see the world as a kaleidoscope of many customs and practices, held together by tolerance, kindness and understanding.

Through my company, OA Empowerment, I teach primary school children and adults creative writing and drama via both classroom and online courses.

I am passionate about helping children and young people Identify and realise their talents.
