I'm an award-winning journalist of 21 years, author and a digital editorial expert, having previously worked as UK Executive Editor and Global Lifestyle Head for HuffPost. I’ve also published three non-fiction books and my second novel is out in 2024.

Quotes by Poorna Bell  (?)

“I am so sorry this happened to you. You didn't deserve it.
I am sorry life let you down.
I will try to keep you up.
Remember I am here.
Always.
I will hold you up.
I will be strong.
Even when it seems like I'm not there,
I am.
I'm just tiny.
But I can grow. And I can
Carry both of us.
Remember.”
Poorna Bell, Chase Rainbow

“Not adults but not fully children either, play-acting with emotions we didn't fully understand, some lucky not to get hurt, others acquiring wounds that would stay with them for life.”
Poorna Bell, Chase Rainbow

“Asking for help, kindness and human connection is one of the hardest things you can do, because not only does it mean opening yourself up, exposing your vulnerabilities, it also means putting your faith in other people. And sometimes people can be shitty, small-minded and let you down.”
Poorna Bell, Chase Rainbow
