“Telling kids off for daydreaming is criminal. Every good idea has come from thinking outside of the box, yet we force people to follow the system”. I never grew up thinking that I could have the job title or a career as an ‘adventurer’, but I would spend a lot of time during my childhood […]

I was born in 1996 in Bolton, which is in the North West of England, of Indian heritage. From Foster Care to Community Leadership At 3 years old I was placed into care by social services and fostered by local families. Thus I had ‘corporate parents’. I guess you can say I didn’t really have […]

Isaac Harvey
A Different Perspective I’ve known I was different since day one, though what I see as different might not be the same thing you see as different. I’m considered “disabled” because I was born with a condition called limb/pelvic hypoplasia syndrome. That’s a fancy way of saying I have no arms and very short legs. […]
