Before creating resources of hope TOPIA Magazine and Atlas of the Future, I spent the noughties writing music shows for MTV, VH1, BBC and VICE, later reporting on the heavier subject of elephant welfare for National Geographic. I have contributed to Time Out, Mr and Mrs Smith, Dazed & Confused, HERO Magazine and various in-flight mags. I have a rare invisible disability called a cavernoma. It is shaped like a raspberry.

Now I watch my mouth before darting across roads – you never know what horrific words might be your last. Of course, anyone could drop dead at any point. But imagine knowing you had high odds of a stroke at any moment, without warning – meaning you’d never walk, talk, or even breathe again. How would you live?
