Using the storytelling craft of professional journalism with the sharing and engagement techniques of social media content creation, combined with being an expert by lived experience from so-called marginalised communities, Sophie Mei Lan has used media as a vehicle to change minds, lives, and journalism itself for the past 15 years.
From working for Channel 4 News, ITV News, BBC News, and national newspapers to setting up her own community media outlets and creating a mental health & well-being vlog and blog reaching more than two billion people worldwide.
Sophie is an experienced broadcaster and writer with a passion for God’s Own County – Yorkshire where she lives with her large perfectly imperfect family.
