As part of her awareness work, she has given several people with dyslexia and dyspraxia the opportunity to share their own stories on her radio show. Keisha is a Goodwill Ambassador for the Jamaica Dyslexia Association. Her lived experience of these conditions has given her several opportunities to share her story on various platforms and events. She is a regular speaker at events for international women’s day and is a regular speaker at the annual Dyslexia Show held each year at the NEC in Birmingham.
