A MIDDLESBROUGH woman has turned her struggles into success.

Emma Jayne Curry has told The Gazette about the challenges she's faced such as learning difficulties and the heartbreak of her father's death. And how the full-time content creator on TikTok managed to put her passion for colouring into a fulfilling career.

Through her art, she not only finds a source of income but also encourages others to experience the joy of colouring. Since its launch in March, Emma's business - Colour With Em - has gained in popularity; her first book, "All Things Girly," sold out within 40 minutes.
