Bloggers
Emily Davison (Fashioneyesta)
I first discovered Emily from Fashioneyesta when I started blogging in 2016, and we became friends after I voluntarily helped to caption some of her videos. That led to us hanging out together a few times over subsequent years.
But since January 2023 I have also been employed as her support worker for her journalism role with Newsquest, for which she has been very grateful. So we’ve been meeting up more regularly as a result, and she’s kindly invited me along to some press events with her.
So this is a list of posts I’ve made about our various meetups, including some links to her reviews and images as well.
