Autorenporträt
Anne Welsh is an author, entrepreneur and philanthropist. She was born in Nigeria and emigrated to the United Kingdom when she was very young. She was diagnosed with sickle cell anaemia at the age of three, and, after returning to live in her homeland while still a child, faced many of the problems that come with living with a life-threatening disease in a developing country. Since returning to the UK in her late teens, and with the support of her family, Anne has created her own path to happiness through her academic studies and her career. After completing a degree in Accounting and Finance, Anne went on to achieve an MA in International Management before starting her career in investment banking. She now runs her own consultancy firm, specialising in business development in Africa and beyond. Anne is a tireless advocate for sickle cell disease and her memoir, 'Pain-Less', was born of her determination to raise awareness about the impact invisible diseases such as sickle cell can have on individuals, and to give support and advice to other sufferers and their families. Having frequently battled with depression, Anne is all too aware of the difficulties faced by sufferers of life-threatening illnesses. By writing this book, she hopes to help others improve their mental and physical wellbeing and enable them to achieve a joyful and fulfilling life. Anne is married with two children - something she once thought would never be possible - and two stepchildren and lives in London.
