Bonny Hazelwood is a journalist, virtual assistant and small-time actor from Brighton, United Kingdom.
Much of Bonny’s work is influenced by her lived experience – after going through education mostly unnoticed and unsupported, she was identified as/diagnosed with dyscalculia in September 2019. Proudly neurodivergent, she brings what some call “the final frontier of civil rights” to the page, to the streets and into the light – leaving behind all guilt and shame.
When not working on putting the world to rights, Bonny can be found learning languages, acquiring knowledge, connecting people, and relaxing in nature.
