Um, and I'd love to start by just hearing about your journey, and both personally and professionally.
1:50
So I... my name is Danielle Kadjo-Mikalski.
1:53
I was diagnosed with dyslexia back in the early noughties, [laughs] um, where, um, it was about two thousand and two, um, in my final year of university.
2:06
I actually-- my mom thought that I had potentially dyslexia and written communication challenges when I was in primary school, but the school said, no, I hadn't, because back then, if you were left-handed, that was a whole thing.
2:19
And if you, um, were able to comprehend, again, you've got strength, so why would you be dyslexic? Um, but my mom noticed it.
2:29
They said that I wasn't dyslexic and that I wouldn't get to university.
