The biggest motivation for me to get back into work is to gain control over my life again. Music is my biggest passion of all and my dream would be to write a song that ends up in the charts! I've already written an album and I'm really interested in the production side of things too. I'm also in the process of transitioning to be a woman and I want to be able to do this with the most self-care I possibly can. Having an income would allow me to have more options in terms of where I can live, what I do in my spare time and give me a sense of purpose too.
I'm a survivor of modern day slavery, which is how I became homeless. Due to fear of my abusers finding me, I had to be moved away from my support network and as a result was put into temporary housing. I'm now looking to rebuild my life and trying to put those events behind me. I'm living in a hotel right now but I'd like to move out as soon as I've found employment.
I don't have any of the things needed to get into work right now. Getting a phone, laptop and help with travel and work clothes will be so beneficial. As it's really important I move on from my current accommodation, I'm very open to a number of roles. I know that once I have the right tools from Beam, I'll be in a much better position and things will begin looking up for me.
