Priscilla is especially passionate about finding sustainable, holistic, co-produced and systemic solutions to workplace barriers which in supporting neurodivergent and multiply marginalised people, also support everyone else. As well as enabling a trauma-informed workplace cultures which nourish and support diversity of thought, and psychological safety.
For the past three years she has created and delivered original content, resources and training for agencies and organisations including Challenge Consultancy and Inclusion London (a Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisation/DDPO, responsible for the advocacy and training of DDPOs in London) where I was Project Coordinator for their pilot intersectional With Us Project.

As a cult survivor, Priscilla is equally passionate about de-stigmatising the conversation around cult abuse and raising awareness of how these destructive/high demand groups target multiply marginalised and neurodivergent people. As well as how the cult experience and/or experience of coercive relationships feeds into experiences of getting work and workplace cultures.
