Understanding Dyslexia

In this episode we’re joined by fellow VisCom student Jack. Jack and I do the same university course and during our latest ‘group crit’ he expressed to the group that he was dyslexic. This obviously led onto me asking him to take part as a guest on the show. Jack very kindly was interested in sharing his story with us. Join us to find out more about Jack’s unique story where he tells us all about only finding out about his dyslexia only when he arrived at university.

In this episode we’re joined by a guest called Justine. I got in touch with Justine after seeing an interview video she did for a French social media platform.

In this episode, a fellow viscom student joins me to talk about her dyslexia journey. Iona’s testimony is one that is very relatable, she was also educated in a French education context in Bruxelles. The strictness of the french education system is something we can both relate to. 

Iona also used dyslexia as a topic to make work for university, she made a paper about what it’s like to be dyslexic and bilingual… Turns out we had loads in common !
