In March 2020, I had planned to hike the South West Coast Path on my own; the idea of carrying everything I needed in one bag and moving forwards every day was really appealing to me. I was floundering, I’d come out of a terrible relationship, wasn’t honouring what I really wanted to be doing, and had had to leave London because I couldn’t afford to stay. The walk felt like a respite. The pandemic put a stop to that and then things got busy.

In 2024 and 2025 I presented my play Lynn Faces about a woman who starts a punk band inspired by Lynn from Alan Partridge in a bid to find hope after the end of an abusive relationship. We did a post show talk with representatives from Rights of Women and Southall Sisters, both incredible charities. It was really powerful.

I felt worthless by the time I got out of my own abusive relationship, It’s taken years and years to fully understand, I’m still making discoveries. I've decided to do the walk now, five years on, because I realise there is a long shadow after abusive. I want to shine a light on the issues by walking the 630 miles on my own for Rights of Women.
