A short analysis article of being featured in the Voice Newspaper twice within 12 months

During February and December of 2023, it was an honour to be featured in one of the UK important cultural-related publications in the UK.


Beforehand I have attempted to request to be featured for many years with the news publications and publications related to the project I have to developed. I was excited and so happy that I was finally featured with one of the UK's most recognised culturally related publications.


February edition (2023)
The first time I was featured was related to a video campaign I was involved in as a featured participant to showcase Birmingham's Legacy since the city beyond the Commonwealth Games and what factors were needed to support disabilities from benefits to employment

December edition (2023)
The second time when I was featured was related to my special participation role. This was related to being involved in an open consultation by the Department for Work and Pensions in changing their procedures to encourage more disabilities into employment. In addition, I have developed a special family of objective insight documents which present the aspects and solutions.

Both articles were written by The Voice Midlands correspondent Veron Graham. It was well-written concise and written to the audience with greater context and insight.

So I would like to share a special thank you to Veron Graham and the team at Voice newspaper to feature my stories and developments in the past 12 months.
