My Story

Bio

Hi I’m Alex

I am a millennial man, born in London and of Caribbean descent.

In my early twenties, I spent most of my time traveling.

This is important because it informs how I approach my life: curiously.

On my travels, I taught and learned. I explored and experienced.

I grew into myself in ways only traveling can make you.

I founded The Time To Talk Project in 2023, which offers mental health consultancy and workshops and provides ghostwriting services through Words That Work.

Writing the Words That Set You Free.

Stories have always been my compass.

I spent five years as a journalist, chasing the truth in words, seeking clarity, understanding, and the deeper human experience. But what I found was something more profound: so many of us struggle to find the right words for what we feel, who we are, and where we’re going.

As a ghostwriter and content strategist, working with ambitious thought leaders - CEOs, coaches, and changemakers - who have a message to share but don’t always know how to put it into words, I bring their work to life.

Whether it’s a book, article, or podcast, I help bring their ideas to life with clarity and depth.

My love for storytelling? It runs deep. I’ve always been drawn to Harry Potter - not just for the magic, but for the themes of othering, identity, and transformation. Those themes shape my work, whether in therapy or writing, helping others navigate who they are and how they show up in the world.

In my career, I have worked in journalism, marketing, education, mental health and podcasting, and the thing I noticed was that everyone I worked with just wanted to tell their story.

My book on men’s mental health released in 2021, Time To Talk: How Men Think About Love, Belonging and Connection. I have also produced several award-winning podcasts, won awards for my writing, and helped several books come to life.

Through it all, one truth remains: words have the power to heal, transform, and set us free.

Who else would you trust to bring your book to life?

If you’re ready to bring your story to life whether for yourself or the world - I’d love to help.

Let’s talk.
