Daniella Stuart
Being out-of-work and dealing with a conflicted sense of her own identity left Daniela feeling vulnerable and depressed.
Daniella began living full time as a transwoman in July 2016 but she had struggled to find work. An aspiring author, Daniella is now working with WH Smith, in the book department at one of their London stores and has strengthened her ambition to publish a fictional story reflecting aspects of her own transgender journey.
"I am enjoying my role at WH Smith and my co-workers have been so supportive and accepting. Being employed again means that life is no longer on hold. I can start making plans again for my future and I am in the right frame of mind to be creative in my writing. Trying to put my thoughts down on paper has sometimes challenged me as I am dyslexic."
