I have chosen to become a Young Food Ambassador as more than ever, wealth inequalities result in people not having access to safe, nutritional food. With my own lived experience of free school meals, I better understand the struggle people have in being able to afford a balanced diet. Through the Food Foundation’s many projects, I hope to raise awareness of the growing food disparities and help others make their voice heard. Food is a human right that should be distributed evenly and produced sustainably to ensure that every child is well fed and able to flourish.

I became a Food Ambassador because I grew up with food insecurity, experienced it as a young adult and know first-hand how it shapes physical health, mental health and opportunity. As a creative educator and founder of DramEd, I work with children and families and see daily how access to good food supports learning and wellbeing. I use storytelling, advocacy and community work to amplify lived experience and push for a fairer food system.
