Meet Ancara Holgate and learn about her journey as a storyteller.
I was born and raised on the sun-bathed tropical island Jamaica, until I moved to the UK as a teenager. As a happily married mother of two, I have worked in various jobs: as a qualified business administrator, hairdresser, in retail as a qualified manager – and I’ve had a 16-year run in health and social care.
I enjoy dancing, singing, dining out and helping others. But one day I discovered that my love for writing would prove invaluable in helping me deal with the challenges of my mum being diagnosed with MS. The writing kept me going and I found it therapeutic.
I continued putting pen to paper until finally, through unrelenting encouragement and support from my aunt, with whom I shared my stories (and is sadly no longer with us), I decided to published my stories for children.
