"My roots are African, my heritage is the Caribbean and my experience is the UK, as this is where I was born. As the vice chair of Faith Network for Manchester, I am very blessed to hold several roles within the community as an interfaith minister, peace ambassador, trustee/volunteer for several charities, radio presenter and a local florist and crafter.

As an interfaith minister, my belief is that like an umbrella, there are many ways to practice your faith, but at the top there is one truth. People of all faiths and those of none are equal to me. I am passionate about celebrating and promoting inclusivity, peace within communities and acknowledging the thread within us regardless of your faith, race, culture, sex or background; we are a human tribe.

My other interests are mental health, supporting issues effecting the Afro-Caribbean community and holistic therapy.

My motto: I am me, you are you, we are one."
