Charlotte Pearson
Nominee Profile
Location: London
I’m Charlotte Marian Pearson, consultant, strategist, speaker, model, and professional barrier-breaker (unofficial title, but very much earned). For over 15 years, I’ve been doing the work across education, community, health, media, and business, driven by lived experience and a belief in doing things properly, not performatively.
I started out as a youth worker and college educator, supporting young people already written off by the system. From there, I opened a shop to help struggling families with baby items and essentials because I knew what it was like to need help and not know where to turn. When my children were diagnosed as neurodivergent, I became their fiercest advocate… and in the process, discovered I’m autistic and ADHD too. Add chronic illness into the mix, and let’s just say I know a thing or two about surviving systems that weren’t built for people like me.
That experience lit a fire in me I couldn’t ignore. So, I built The MosaiQs, a consultancy-meets-movement that’s supported thousands of families, trained professionals, developed resources, and helped shift mindsets from “awareness” to actual inclusion. I’ve advised leadership teams, contributed to national campaigns, delivered workshops, and spoken on international stages. But I also still sit in school meetings with parents, run peer support groups, and volunteer my time, because real impact happens both in the boardroom and the community hall.
Oh, and I model too. Because representation matters. Not just for visibility, but to show that disabled, neurodivergent, working-class women of colour deserve to be seen, respected, and fully represented — and look good doing it.
I’ve been featured in national media and international ad campaigns, but what matters most is the quiet impact. The people who’ve messaged me to say they finally feel seen. The parent who found their voice. The family who got the support they were told they couldn’t access.
After years of doing the work behind the scenes, I’m finally stepping forward — to reach more people, open more doors, and remind others that no matter where you start, you’re allowed to belong in every room you enter.
