What I do

Brixton

The Streatham constituency contains the southern part of Brixton. It has a longstanding reputation as a vibrant cultural and creative hub, and has also seen significant transformation and investment. Windrush Square is named after the Windrush generation – who settled in Brixton after arriving in the UK as it had the labour exchange which was closest to the accommodation provided to migrants in Clapham – and is home of the Black Cultural Archives.

I’ve added my name to this important Early Day Motion (EDM) which calls on all public institutions to fully adopt and implement the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism.

Knife crime public meeting

I spoke at Streatham Action’s public meeting on the challenges of knife crime and youth violence. Good to see the community coming together to discuss what we can all do to end this waste of young lives.

House of Commons - Women in Parliament

Looking round this great “Voice & Vote: Women’s Place in Parliament” exhibition in Westminster Hall that highlights the campaign for votes for women. We’ve come a long way but there is a lot more still to do.
