I’m Bonny Hazelwood. I’m a journalist, virtual assistant and small-time actor, originally from Brighton in the United Kingdom.

Much of my work is rooted in my lived experience; after going through education mostly unnoticed and unsupported, I was formally identified as Neurodivergent (specifically, dyscalculic) in September 2019. I bring what some call “the final frontier of civil rights” to the page, to the streets and into the light – leaving behind all guilt and shame.

When not working on putting the world to rights, I can be found learning languages, acquiring knowledge, making delicious food, and relaxing in nature.
