Yolanda Barker Profile

Bubbly, friendly, middle-aged, larger woman who uses a powerchair due to mobility disability. I also can use crutches or a rollator for short walks. My hair is currently quite long - almost waist length and I have a grey streak at the front. The rest is brown and splatter of grey. It is natural. My speech is clear and fairly well spoken. I have been a speaker for a number of events including the MS Society, Womens Institute, Parish Council, Round table talk at Number 10 Downing Street. I am not super pretty but I have a kind face that is expressive. I wear glasses and partially sighted in one eye. I am keen for disabled people not to be portrayed as a villain although it could be fun to play one, of course. I have been undergoing journalist training recently to enhance my skills when interviewing people and presenting myself.
