Marcia Brissett-Bailey is one of the Top 50 Influential Neurodivergent Women 2022. Marcia was nominated for the Stereotype Buster of the year category in 2021/22 Celebrating Neurodiversity Awards.  

Marcia is a thought leader, Forbes featured, international speaker, and author of Black, Brilliant and Dyslexic which was published in February 2023. As a dyslexia advocate and champion, Marcia is passionate about empowering other dyslexic and neurodivergent people to find their voice. 

Marcia is married and has two children and over the years, has felt the need to ‘hack the system’, to develop mechanisms to navigate the education system and the workplace. She has learned to accept herself and realise that we are all different, in spite of the illusion that we are all the same shape size and that there exists a dominate group within the human race. 

Marcia is keen to empower others to find their voice, working from a place of acceptance and self-love, which Marcia herself has had to invest in, in order to achieve, as she was always told what she cannot do, rather than what she can.
