Words First: Brave

Jodi Ann Bickley’s a spoken word artist. She developed bulimia at the age of 16 and more than 10 years later, she's in recovery and expecting her first child.

As part of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 1Xtra's Words First season she’s was asked to think about bravery. She wrote a poem to her unborn child. "When I got pregnant my body started changing and becoming things that I had no control of," says Jodi."It was the first time it wasn't about me anymore. It became so much bigger than me I had something to look after and for the first time, I actually felt brave."
