Bio

I'm Bridgette James, a British Poet who was born in Sierra Leone and author of Sierra Leone in The Diaspora, available on Amazon. Some copies were shipped to a private school in Sierra Leone and the children were delighted with my poems. Earlier poems could be found at www.ellaspoems.co.uk. I'm a member of the Poetry Society in the UK.
I'm an English Language and Literature graduate who also holds a First class BSC Honours in Criminology and Social Sciences from The Open University. I'm a mum to a lovely boy who suffers with Autism. I've worked as a Special Police Constable in the Metropolitan Police and a Mental Health Nurse. I was a keen distance runner who competed with Athletics clubs and have completed over 32 races including the London Marathon.
