One of the best things I’ve done is joining the WI. It’s not all ladies of a certain age. It’s ladies of all ages from all backgrounds. I’ve made so many friends and it definitely helped moving to a new city where I knew no one. I’m now the President of mine and I love it ❤️

Mum couldn't bear to come to the vigil for #SabinaNessa with me today. But she lit up our doorstep, in her words, "For all the mums who didn't deserve to have their daughters remembered like this..." #SayHerName

Forest Gate came together to remember and to voice to women and girls who should be able to feel safe at all times #sabinanessa
