Thank you so much to Garrick Prayogg and Roland Houslin from Justice For Windrush Generations, for inviting the Windrush Justice Clinic (on whose board I sit) to the House of Commons on the evening of Wednesday 22nd March, to address the community, and supportive MPs and peers, on the work we are doing to help Windrush victims obtain compensation.
Thank you so much to Wintrade Global for inviting me to the Wintrade Global Summit 2023 at the UK House of Lords on Wednesday 15th March 2023 and honouring me with this year’s legal award.
I am very grateful to Viv Ahmun (bottom right), Black Men for Change, Patricia Lamour (bottom left) and Dr Yvonne Thompson.
It was really wonderful to join the London Sunday Assembly, at the great Conway Hall, on Sunday 5th March 2023, to speak about “Embracing Equity”, the theme of this year’s International Womens Day celebrations. My contribution is just after 35 minutes HERE.
What an honour to participate in the main symposium of the UK country visit of the United Nations Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent organised by fellow barrister and UN Fellow Priscellia Robinson on Saturday 21st January 2023.
Over the course of the afternoon and evening, Ms Barbara Reynolds and her UN colleagues listened to heartfelt evidence and testimony from a wide range of Black British voices, spanning civil society, on issues concerning education, health, housing, the environment, data, culture, youth, criminal justice and more.
The symposium, held at the University of West London, was just one of a series of events the working group is holding as part of its UK visit.
I am really happy to have moved to Staple Inn Chambers, my new barrister home, where I will be clerked by my old Senior Clerk Lee Williams. Great clerks are worth their weight in gold and Lee gave me so much unstinting support during my pupillage. I am delighted to be working with him again! My Staple Inn Chambers’ profile is available to read here.
