In recent years I have had the pleasure of working with some brilliant professionals.
Moving Stories was a project supported by the humanitarian charity Massive Outpouring Of Love (MOOL); the first phase of which culminated in June 2018.

This was toured through the region during Refugee Week in June 2018.
