My story gives you a brief overview of my life, how I became famous as the viral Tesco Queen @techamelia on TikTok, how I moved to Scotland and how cancer tore my life apart. It's a good place to get started as so much has happened and it can confuse people who have only seen small snippets. Hopefully it helps give you an overview. I've had a lot of positive feedback on it so far, such as:
"Wow!! That is such a beautifully written piece. It really goes to show just how much experience you have had in your short life and nice balance of sad and happy so show there is always different times across your life. You have had it incredibly hard and we love you with all your heart. Please don’t leave us though, it would be such a loss to the world and fortunes can change in a heartbeat and I have everything crossed that will happen for you."
"Beautiful written. I can not believe some of the horrers you have been through. I always try to learn from you by watching your videos. I don't get on Tik Tok much anymore but I do watch your stories on here. I have always and will continue to enjoy your content. I really hope that your health improved and things go better for you.( Sorry if this it too long) #fuckcancer"
Groups I'm involved with... 🤗
My GP Mental Health Nurse recommended I go along to this new member-led Adult Autism Support Group that was being started up in Menstrie by CTSI. The evening of the day I was told about it, I went along and I was elected the chairwoman in my first meeting. Now known as Neuroclacks, while founded by CTSI, is in the process of becoming an independent organisation. Originally it was "Adult Autism Support Group" and didn't have that many members or an online presence. We made a group decision to rebrand to Neuroclacks. This is a combination the words "Neurodiversity" (anyone who is not neurotypical) and "Clackmannanshire" (the area of Forth Valley Scotland in which our group is based) for multiple reasons. One of which is that it's easy to advertise, all of our socials are simply @neuroclacks and our website is neuroclacks.com. Another reason is that it opens the group up to people who don't have an autism diagnosis. Research shows that women especially can struggle to get diagnosed with autism, often waiting years for diagnosis, or getting misdiagnosed with anxiety due to the symptoms presenting differently in women. It also opens the group up to people who may have other forms of neurodiversity, including but not limited to; Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, etc. While these aren't all the same and we recognise the differences in challenges faced, a lot of the symptoms cross over and many neurodiverse people have multiple "comorbid" diagnoses. Mixing different neurodivergent individuals is incredibly beneficial to our mental health as it can reduce the feeling of loneliness and isolation we often get by trying to fit into a neurotypical world. It also recognises that neurodiversity is a group of spectrums in which we are all affected in different ways. That's why it's important we emphasise the accessibility and inclusivity of our group to ensure that everyone is welcome. Since becoming the chairwoman of Neuroclacks and implementing our new brand strategy, we've seen our membership double within a few weeks. By implementing a more friendly, colourful, less clinical design language, and by expanding on social media, we've helped reach people sooner. Before we rebranded, the registration forms show that the majority of our members were being referred by their GP Mental Health Nurse. Now people discover us sooner, through our online channels, providing earlier intervention which can be hugely beneficial in improving the mental health outcomes of our members. Our members say that they join for social connection, peer support, personal growth, to make new friends, to understand their condition better, to learn new coping strategies, to try new things and to expand their comfort zone. I am delighted to be able to play a critical role in this new organisation that is making a real difference to the lives of neurodiverse adults, like myself, in Forth Valley Scotland. If you or someone you know would like to come along to our weekly sessions, I highly recommend you self refer via our website, neuroclacks.com. I look forward to meeting you and hopefully welcoming you along to one of our groups. 🤗
I am mostly well known for being the CEO and Owner of the Moderley Group on Roblox.

Due to my cancer I've not been as active as I'd like on there so I'm greatly appreciative that I have an amazing team that have helped pick up the slack and keep the day to day operations running despite challenging circumstances. 😊
I was delighted to be selected as a member for the Forth Valley Pride Committee which later became Stirling Pride. It comes after nearly 300 Forth Valley residents filled out a survey from Creative Stirling, LGBT Youth Scotland, and the University of Stirling which sought to gauge levels of support for a Pride event in the Forth Valley. More than 90% of respondents backed an event, with the majority calling for it to be held in Stirling city centre. For further information on Stirling Pride, including events you can get involved with, check out: https://www.stirlingpride.com/. This is the very first pride event to be held in Forth Valley, Scotland and it comes on the 900th anniversary of Stirling being a city none the less! The first full pride event will take place on the 21st of September 2024, with many fundraisers being ran beforehand to help make it possible. 🏳️🌈
I am an SNP member and the elected Equalities Officer for Clackmannanshire. I'm also a member of the YSI (Young Scot's for Independence, OFI (Out for Independence) as well as the DMG (Disabled Member's Group). I've attended both national and international conferences and recently voted to get a motion passed to improve access to transgender healthcare in Scotland. I'm massively pro European and believe in the benefits of an independent Scotland as an EU member state. I joined the SNP as Nicola Sturgeon has always inspired me and seeing how kind and supportive the majority of members are, I felt it was right to defect from Labour due to them moving so far right I and many others felt alienated from the party. After educating myself on Scotland and independence (I suggest you do the same here) I came to the conclusion that there is no benefit in Scotland remaining a part of the United Kingdom and I support the right of the people of Scotland to self determine our own future. I believe Scotland can lead the way in so many areas but to do so we need the powers of an independent nation.
