Tyra’s story shows how her personal experiences and courage sparked a passion for helping others.

In this episode, we meet Tyra, whose journey began by attending a meeting with her mum and grew into a powerful story of transformation. Tyra shares how her own lived experience became the foundation for building confidence, finding her voice, and understanding why every voice matters.

Join Shirley and Steph at the Civic Hall in Ellesmere Port as we explore how Tyra turned her quiet strength into advocacy and how her time as a Community Inspirer helped her step into a role where lived experience truly leads.
