WRITING

Wrapped in dodgy peach wallpaper, Nix’s first (unsurprisingly unpublished) ‘Bully Book’ was a collection of her Primary School class’ experiences with being treated unfairly in the 1990s. This was clearly a harbinger of her future pursuits.

Writing endless schemes of work for schools and working in inner London, she became an organiser and activist for Disability, Anti racist and LGBT+ in Education. Going on to become President of the National Union of Teachers and joint Equalities officer in Hackney with Richard Rieser (who co-wrote the Equalities act 2010 and is the founder of UKDHM). She wrote press releases and presented conference speeches. One speech about Phonics testing being detrimental to children’s health sounded out the word bollocks.

A member of Neurodelicious, Nix is a sound cultivator who writes and sings jingles, parodies and serious drum and bass about the plight of Refugees. With a certificate in sound healing, she offers wellbeing events too.

Being on the board of PDA safer practise, her most common work can be found in the form of social stories/accessible signage and lobbying around greater accessibility in everyday life and small businesses.

Volunteering for the cycle group Kidicle Mass, and making art from found objects, she is an ally of the environment and is keen to facilitate climate strikes.

Being Neurodivergent, Nix is hoping to use this course to be held accountable to finishing something. She hopes to write her musical about being a late diagnosed human before the Pandemic. She eventually wants to go on to curate a museum of Neurodivergence if anyone’s interested.
