About me
With a deep understanding of the systemic issues which perpetuate inequalities, I am a fierce advocate for social justice and liberation, with a proven track record of challenging power structures and fighting for marginalised communities. As an experienced organiser and campaign manager, I strive to use my knowledge and skills to empower communities, especially marginalised communities, to take action collectively to change our societies for the better. My work centers around dismantling oppressive systems and amplifying the voices of those who have been historically silenced. Through my unapologetic advocacy, I have made significant strides towards dismantling patriarchal, lgbtq-phobic, ableist, colonial and racist structures. In my free time, I am an avid hiker currently slowly walking the Coast to Coast trail in the North of England. I also enjoy sewing and going to the theatre.
