I had the privilege of sitting down with Emma for Survivor Stories to share a deeply personal part of my journey.

We spoke about the loss of my sister Khawla and my niece Raneem, the failures that surrounded that devastating night, and the journey that followed. A journey that began with grief, but became a determination to fight for change.

Talking about what happened is never easy. But telling these stories matters. Behind every campaign, every policy and every call for change, there are real people, real families and lives that can never be replaced.

Thank you, Emma, for creating a space where survivors and families can speak openly, be heard and turn painful experiences into awareness and action.

This is the trailer from our conversation. The full episode of Survivor Stories is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.

For Khawla. For Raneem. For every survivor. And for the change that still needs to happen. .uk

My view on Sky News regarding the early release of prisoners convicted of domestic abuse.

We have worked too hard to strengthen laws, improve safeguarding and protect victims and survivors to now take steps that could make them feel less safe.

My question is: why should perpetrators of domestic abuse be among those considered for earlier release? If prison capacity has to be managed, why are we not prioritising offenders whose release presents the least risk of further harm to an individual?

Domestic abuse is about control, fear and repeated patterns of behaviour. For many victims, the perpetrator leaving prison is not simply a release date. It can mean fear returning to their doorstep.

At a time when we should be moving forward in tackling domestic abuse, I fear we are taking a step backwards.

Victims and survivors must be at the heart of these decisions. Their safety must come first.

An incredible interview with Sky News, who gave us an important space to speak openly, express ourselves and share the reality behind the work we carry.

It was especially meaningful to be there with Emma, reflecting together on the journey of our campaign, the loss behind it, the work that brought us here and what it means to now be working side by side.

We also spoke about Emma’s new podcast, an important platform centred on survivors, their voices, their experiences and the change that still needs to happen.

We need more spaces like this. Spaces where we can speak honestly about the loss we carry, the work we continue to do, and the changes that are still urgently needed.

Because this is not just about awareness. It is about turning lived experience into action, challenging violence against women and girls, and creating real change so we can better protect women, girls and future generations.

Proud of how far we have come, while knowing there is still so much more to do.

Proud to be joining the Charity Walk in London on 15 September with LMG.

Every step is an opportunity to challenge harmful attitudes, strengthen male allyship and help build a future where women and girls can live free from fear.

Change requires all of us, and I’m proud to stand alongside people across the construction industry who are committed to being part of that change.

Eight years today.😞💔

Eight years since the night that changed everything.

I will never forget the last time I saw Raneem alive. I told her, “I love you.” She said, “I love you too.” There was something about that moment, a closeness I felt so strongly, without knowing it would be the last time I would ever speak to her.

The next time I saw her, she was in an ambulance, fighting for her life.

That night, I made a promise to Raneem and to my sister, Khaola. A promise that for as long as I am alive, I will fight for them. I will fight for justice. I will fight for change. And I will fight so that other women do not have to suffer what they suffered.

Eight years later, Raneem’s Law carries their name, their story and their legacy. But a law cannot be the end of the journey.

Even today, women experiencing domestic abuse are still being dismissed, misunderstood and failed by the very services they turn to for protection. There is still so much work to do.

Remembering the people we have lost matters. But remembrance without action is not enough.

Khaola and Raneem left us with beautiful memories, but the day their lives ended, another journey began.

A journey to make sure their deaths were not in vain.

So today, I do not only remember them.

I renew my promise.

We keep pushing.
We keep demanding better.
We keep challenging failure.
We keep fighting for change.
And we keep working to save lives.

Because women deserve to live. They deserve to grow old, to laugh, to love, to raise their children and to have a future.

They should never have been under the ground.

Khaola and Raneem, eight years on, I carry you with me in everything I do.

I love you. Always. 💞🙏

Today marked the second engagement in my ongoing consultancy work with The National Black Crown Prosecution Association (NBCPA), working alongside senior leaders and decision makers to explore how victims experience communication within the criminal justice system.

Drawing on my legal background, psychotherapy work, consultancy experience and lived experience, I spoke about how legal decisions can affect victims who may already be carrying trauma, grief, fear and uncertainty, and how communication can be clearer, more human and more trauma informed.

A special thank you to Grace Ononiwu CBE for her leadership and commitment to ensuring victims are treated with dignity, fairness and compassion.

We also discussed the wellbeing of those working within the system. Supporting victims, hearing traumatic experiences and making difficult decisions can carry an emotional impact, and professionals need support too.

The day included my talk, an open Q&A and workshop discussions with senior leadership.

Behind every case is a human story. How we communicate matters. How we treat victims matters. And how we support the people doing this work matters too.

A few moments from my recent session with the Crown Prosecution Service, alongside Grace Ononiwu CBE and CPS operational leaders.

I was invited as a consultant with Secure Life, bringing my experience of working with victims and survivors of domestic abuse, violence against women and girls, and other forms of abuse.

My message was simple: sometimes teaching people how systems work, explaining the steps and helping professionals see things through the eyes of a victim can go a long way.

Trust is everything. When people trust the professionals and systems around them, they are more likely to engage, collaborate, speak openly and feel confident asking for help.

Learning, sharing, and a little laughter along the way.
