Summary

I'm a female racing driver aiming to make LGBT history at the 24hs of Le Mans, I'm a motivational speaker and ambassador for LGBT charities.

Description

I'm proud to be transgender and I have overcome and huge adversity both in my personal life and career. Motorsport is a male dominated sport, lacking in diversity, and I'm using my platform to create LGBT acceptance and positive change in society. I'm a Sports Champion for Stonewall, Europe's largest & leading LGBT charity (also an ambassador for Athlete Ally & Racing Pride) and I belive in using my visibility to inspire other people to live as their true, authentic selves.

I work as a motivational speaker and have given talks at Microsoft, Google, GSK, Aon, Bosch and ASOS as well as leading universities. I speak about conquering adversity, unlocking performance, and tell my story of how I started from nothing to become a professsional racing driver.

I'm also a keen athlete and enjoying trail running, surfing, snowboarding, all these activities feature in my social media and videos, my lifestyle is geared around performance, healthy living, and mindfullness.

Key figures for sponsors

I regularly give interviews on television and have featured in the following during the last 18 months: NY Times, Sky Sports, BBC, ITV, Ch4, CNN, The Guardian, Telegraph, Huff Post, TIME & Good Morning Britain. I can send a document with over 45 pieces of key coverage from the last 2 years.

Because my story is unique in motorsport (I transitioned mid way through my career) I received huge media exposure, more than any British driver outside of Formula One.

I'm vlogger and have over 2.2M views on my YouTube channel, my total following on social media is over 40k.
