Biography
I am the founder of Milk Honey Bees, a creative and expressive safe space for Black girls to flourish and put HER (Healing, Empowerment and Resilience) first. I am also a Therapeutic Youth Practitioner at Divert Youth, working with young people who come into contact with the youth justice system whilst working with multi-agency professionals across systems and decision making. I am currently undergoing my Professional Doctorate in Children and Young People's Services, exploring the experiences of young people in education.
The main topic my Fellowship covered was the traumatic effect violence within communities has on Black girls (under 18), and their negative contact with education, justice, health and social care systems.
