IAm 

 

My journey has been one of deep exploration and transformation, significantly shaped by my lived foster care experience and the profound impact of appearing on BBC DNA Family Secrets with Stacey Dooley. These pivotal moments taught me the immense strength found in fully embracing every facet of who we are, solidifying my belief that understanding our identity is crucial for an authentic and happy life.

​

This understanding is rooted in the principles of Intersectionality, a framework developed by legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw. Her work highlights how various aspects of our identity – like race, gender, and lived experience – intersect to create unique advantages or challenges. It's this nuanced perspective on identity that underpins my passion.​

My Work

​

At IAmMatthew, my mission is to help individuals and organisations foster environments where everyone feels truly seen, valued, and empowered. 

​

As an Intersectionality & Identity consultant, I help explore the complex interplay of various identities, understanding how aspects like, for example, race, gender, sexuality, and class shape unique experiences. This nuanced perspective helps to illuminate the diverse advantages and challenges people face.

 

 I also offer specialist lived experiance consultation on:

• Foster Care and Adoption

• Dual Identity

• LGBTQ+

• DNA Discovery & Impact

​

My commitment to identity and belonging is further demonstrated through my role as a Trustee at The Fostering Network, the UK's leading fostering charity, where I passionately champion these vital areas.

My approach is built on authenticity, empathy, honesty, and a deep commitment to growth. I provide a safe, supportive, and insightful space for discovery and development. My clients include: British Transport Police, State Street Bank, C2C Rail, Transport for London. and Medway Council.
