“I had two ambitions as a child: attend University and become an actress. I was told neither would be a possibility for me, but I continued to persevere.
With the incredible support and encouragement of my parents, a wonderful teacher and this extraordinary institution, I was able to realise my first childhood goal. Returning to Brunel University to accept an honorary degree in recognition of my contribution to the arts is far beyond my wildest dreams and an accomplishment I hope will inspire others.”
