About Me
My journey began with an experience that could have broken me — a wrongful arrest that led to months of separation from my children.
It was a time of fear and isolation, but also a period of awakening.
I realised how many others face similar struggles in silence, misunderstood or dismissed by the systems around them. That’s when I decided to turn adversity into advocacy.
I became part of the international bestselling Start Over series, sharing my story in collaboration with Sir Marco Robinson. Through that platform, I’ve been able to reach people around the world with a message of resilience, healing and hope.
Today, through Justice Through Adversity, I continue that mission — giving a voice to the voiceless and helping others find the strength to start again.
