You have to be quite grounded, and I don't know what that is. Sometimes, that means being vulnerable.

I've never experienced chronic poverty, but I know what it's like to live on £3 a week.

If you come face to face with some really challenging situations and tragic circumstances - you are going in there with a purpose. You are not going in there as a tourist. You're not going there just to merely observe. You have a purpose, and your purpose is to tell that story, to share that story for the bigger benefit of millions of other people. Your purpose is to create that bridge so you can give that story the dignity and the focus that it deserves, and you can become a part of the amplification that needs to be there.
