About Amy:

Amy is an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Consultant and disability activist living with long covid. Her background in comedy, youth coaching, psychodynamic consulting and inclusive programme-design means that she's always been a vocal ally, but now she speaks from lived experience. She learned long ago that she's irregular in every room, and that is why - and how - she gets things done.
