DESCRIPTION: Katriona O'Sullivan and VP for EDI Dr Helen Maher will discuss
  Katriona's best selling book Poor. \n\n Like young girls everywhere Katri
 ona O’Sullivan grew up bright\, enthusiastic\, curious. But she was also
  surrounded by abject poverty and chaos\, and after she became pregnant an
 d homeless at 15\, what followed was five years of barely surviving. Yet\,
  today Katriona is an award-winning academic whose work explores barriers 
 to education for girls like her. \n\n What set Katriona on this unexpected
  path were the mentors and supporters who truly saw her. The teachers who 
 showed her how to wash in the school toilets or turned up at her door to c
 onvince her to sit at least one GCSE. The community worker who encouraged 
 her to apply for training schemes. The friend who introduced Katriona to T
 rinity College’s access program while she was a cleaner. Simple acts tha
 t would help her turn her life around. \n\n Told with warmth\, clarity and
  compassion – compassion for her parents\, for her younger self\, for ot
 hers – Poor is both an astonishing personal testimony and an impassioned
  plea for the future of our children. \n\n ‘Powerful – Katriona is a l
 egend’ Barry Keoghan \n\n ‘Raw\, passionate and resolutely honest – 
 I’ll never forget it’ Annie Mac \n\n 'Full of insight . . . so importa
 nt' Fi Glover\, Times Radio \n\n 'I read poor in one sitting I found it so
  compelling . . . moving\, uplifting\, brave\, heroic' Nuala McGovern\, Wo
 man's Hour\, BBC Radio Four\n(Amazon) \n
