In spring 2023, I worked as a storyteller on Outer Circle Arts' Museum of Me project in Cheylesmore, Coventry. I worked with five community members, from school children to retirees, to create a museum about their lives. I interviewed each of them three times and then wrote eleven short stories about their lives which accompanied a museum of their objects, which I support a curator in choosing. I was responsible for writing Sandra, Yousef, Ashley, Danny and Caroline's museums.

Museum of Me
I like England because it is so diverse. I really like London to visit but I like living in Cheylesmore because there aren’t too many people. People from my school are from lots of different countries - my friend Jan is from Poland. Mum thinks I seem more English than my family sometimes because I don’t say what I’m thinking about people straight away!
