This was a project that I took part in Too much of a person curated by Diana Patient, the founder and creative director. I was really privileged to take part in this project, which empowered me so much as a young girl and one that has a lot to say about the world. Thank you so much.

“‘Too Much of a Person’ is a project chronicling the experiences of self-identifying women and non-binary people being told they were “too much” of something (nice, loud, sensitive, aggressive etc.) to dismiss or conform them to the current perception of how a woman should be.

Your too much could be your power. Let’s reclaim that, take up space together and be whatever we want.

Welcome to the home of the online gallery of this multi-media exhibition which was launched in early 2019. You can listen to the powers and waves these extraordinary people are making in the world, and know that you are not alone.”

THEY SAID I WAS:

TOO MUCH

TOO INTENSE

A STORM

TOO INDEPENDENT

TOO SENSITIVE

I’M JUST TOO MUCH OF A PERSON

Lyrical, poignant and insightful.’ - Margaret Atwood

This is my story; a journey defined by my love for these extraordinary creatures. Because large or small, brown, patterned or jewelled, there is something about birds that makes us, even for just moments at a time, lift our eyes away from our lives and up to the skies.

Watch me tonight in this amazing short film, talking about the Islamaphobic bullying I get on social media.

Fantastic to be in the film with Munroe Bergdorf, the Black transgender model recently sacked by L’Oreal for her honest views on racism and white privilege, following the white supremacist attacks in Charlottesville.

Completely agree with her view that you either stand up against racism or you are with it. Watch and find out what it feels like.

It was strange watching the preview of the film on a big screen at the British Film Institute at Southbank, London. Will be on BBC I-Player afterwards.

Silent Roars’ airing at 10.25 pm on BBC Four Sunday 24th Oct, as part of ‘Listen to Britain’.

Four of the internet’s biggest female stars reveal how their followers are shaping them. Starring Mya-Rose Craig, Ella Grace Denton, Munroe Bergdorf, Elizabeth Farrell.

Produced by Maia Krall Fry, BBC, BFI, Wingspan Productions.
