Welcome to Legally Detained :)

I’m Hannah - a creative activist, writer, and performer. For years, I was told I was “too much” and would never achieve anything. Instead, I built Legally Detained from that rejection.

Legally Detained is my personal brand, rooted in lived experience and transforming survival into power through art, activism, workshops, and unapologetic storytelling.

This exists because we were never broken. Because difference is strength. Because true inclusion means more than fitting in - it means leading, creating, and reshaping the systems that tried to silence us.

What I Do

Through Legally Detained, I:

  • Perform & Create – spoken word, theatre, and unapologetic storytelling.

  • Run Workshops & Consultancy – on neurodivergence, trauma-informed practice, and true inclusion.

  • Lead Campaigns & Community Work – activism, journal prompts, and digital projects like Rulebook to Society.

Why I Do It

Because I was told I was broken - but I wasn’t. Because difference is not something to hide or fix, it’s strength. Because inclusion isn’t a tick-box - it’s a culture we have to build, together.

“When the world broke me- I responded with music, dance & stories”
