Imagination is a powerful tool for personal growth. I love working with the hidden layers and texture of human stories to spark change, unlock creativity and deepen self-awareness. When we share our stories with others, we not only express our deepest self but also develop more authentic connections.
You don't have to be a writer or artist to discover the transformative power of imagination and storytelling. Growth begins with our own creative journey and often the act of writing becomes secondary to the process.
I'm a member of The Others group of poets (based in Edinburgh), The Scottish Writers Centre and Dovetales Scotland (artists for peace). My work has featured in The Alchemy Spoon, Dreich, Untitled and Shoreline of Infinity. A selection of my published poems can be found below. I hope you enjoy reading them!
For the past four years, I’ve designed and facilitated the Mother Tongue Other Tongue (MTOT) workshops for SCILT (Scotland's national centre for languages) multilingual poetry competition in schools. The project enables teachers to inspire their pupils with the power of writing poetry as a way to honour both cultural identity and individuality.
“Every time Juliette runs MTOT workshops for us, teachers leave full of inspiration and enthusiasm, eager to take it all back to their own classrooms. Her professional and warm approach means that she has become a real friend of our organisation.” – Angela de Britos, Professional Development Officer, SCILT
...get it out and get it said, get it on the page. It’s just about telling the truth, I think, your truth.
