What an honour it was to receive my CBE Award from HRH The Duke of Cambridge yesterday at Windsor Castle.

Grateful for everyone that has played a part in my Civil Society journey all of these 21 years.

Tessy’s Brunches: Elevate HER
I had the honour of being invited to speak Tessy’s Brunches hosted by the powerhouse Dr Tessy Ojo CBE @Ttall to discuss how you can advocate better for your health and have your voice heard

True advocacy happens when you are being listened to and your experience is being validated:
My top tips for advocacy for your health:
1. Take your symptom checker and share your ideas, concerns & expectations of what you would like at the consultation
2. Say “I have gone through reasonable lengths to self manage this situation and I now need to escalate it, maybe some investigations or a certain medical intervention might help?”
3. if at the end of this you're still being denied the care you need, go in with, 'please refer me onto a specialist, I would like a second opinion”

I always says visibility, representation, collaboration and uplifting others to the table where conversations are happening for meaningful change are at the heart of being heard - may we continue to do this for better outcomes 💕

You matter
Your voice matters

(1/2) RECLAIMING NARRATIVES_

This year’s theme is not just about telling the stories of Black communities; it’s about allowing them to take control of their own narrative and ensure that their stories are told with the respect, dignity, and accuracy it deserves.

[The Diana Award @DianaAward]

(2/2) We are fortunate enough to work with incredible young Black people across our programmes. This year, we are spotlighting these inspiring young people as we journey through a young person’s development, aiming to stop off at key moments to ensure that their story is told. 🖤
