I grew up in Manchester and have lived in Hackney and Islington for 17 years.

In London I find the whole world: racially and socially diverse, spanning extremes of social privilege and disadvantage, delights and challenges.

If elected, I will act out a new, positive political culture that welcomes women.

WE aspire to create this.

Since 1999, I’ve been a barrister, specialising in anti-discrimination, sexual harassment, and equal pay cases.

I work full-time and care for my three children as a single parent. I care about the world we offer to young people.

I will share my knowledge and lived experiences, campaign with energy, and enact our ideas for change, in the service of London.
