Welcome to Purposely SHORT, a weekly episode that features one of our friends or past guests sharing their expertise on a specific topic.
This week's episode features Susanne Ritzenhoff Director of Toi Ora Live Art Trust. In this bonus episode of Purposely, Suzanne discusses her experiences with dyslexia, which she inherited from her father.
She recounts the challenges she faced as a child, such as writing words in multiple ways, and how her mother struggled to understand. Suzanne emphasises the importance of resilience and using technology to aid in learning. She highlights the role of supportive family members, particularly her father and older siblings, in maintaining her self-esteem. Suzanne also notes the unique perspective and problem-solving skills that dyslexia can bring, suggesting it might be a superpower rather than a disadvantage.
