It was a single-parent household, with mum raising me and my two younger brothers. She suffered from chronic muscular dystrophy, which meant I was effectively her carer from the age of 11. My agent got me a job in a call centre, working for Motorola, while we looked for other clubs for me to play for. I cried and cried for weeks.It took time but I slowly got my head around the situation.
I had a very strong work ethic and I just knew that I had to pull every lever and turn every dial to make it happen for me.I've had a handful of moments. There have been occasions where I would go for meetings, and I would be with an older, usually white, colleague. And the person we're meeting might assume I'm the junior person in the room, despite that not being the case.
