Today is World Mental Health Day, which gives us the opportunity to recognise the struggles that many of us face on a daily basis. I haven’t spoken about my battles with mental health before, so I thought today would be a fitting time to start.

Around this time, I landed a modelling contract which gave me the opportunity to be busy and distracted whilst continuing to travel the world.
