My Journey as a dyslexic social entrepreneur:
When I embarked on my journey as a social entrepreneur by founding Dyslexia Pathways Community Interest Company way back in 2008 I have certainly travelled along a long road or should I say huge ginormous roller coaster ride with very high highs and very low lows.
To make things even harder for myself it had no route map and I really had no idea where is was going to go. More to the point I discovered no dyslexia specific support for dyslexic entrepreneurs.

All I really knew was I am a qualified dyslexia and inclusion specialist with 26 years experience of working in colleges and 8 years experience of running a dyslexia department at a London based college. All knew was I didn't want to work within an education setting again as an employed teacher but I wanted to keep on teaching and training within the dyslexia and inclusion fields.
So founding Dyslexia Pathways CIC and then Unique Dyslexic enabled me to do this. Dyslexia Pathways CIC is the academic and training part of the organisation. While Unique Dyslexic is about the creative.
