My Book
My journey in public service spans 16 years as a local government political office holder, where I spearheaded initiatives to create meaningful change for residents. As a magistrate, I contribute to the criminal justice system, ensuring fairness and upholding the rule of law. My role as a community mediator allows me to bring resolution to conflicts and foster understanding in challenging situations.
I am deeply involved with the Thurrock African Group, where I work to promote cultural awareness, support community development, and address key social issues affecting African and minority communities. My passion for empowering others drives my work with TAG Radio, which serves as an inclusive platform for people of all ages and backgrounds. While TAG Radio provides youth-focused opportunities to help young people develop communication skills, confidence, and media broadcasting experience, it also offers valuable information and resources to the wider community.
In addition to my community roles, I am a certified life coach and mentor through findafresh.com, where I provide guidance to individuals seeking personal growth, career development, or a fresh perspective on life. I take pride in helping people identify their strengths, set achievable goals, and create fulfilling lives aligned with their purpose.
At the heart of everything I do is a deep belief in the transformative power of service. My upcoming book, The Act of Service, embodies this ethos by offering not only inspiring stories and lessons from decades of serving others but also practical strategies for making a meaningful impact. More than just a motivational read, The Act of Service is a practical handbook for those who want to lead with integrity and purpose. It’s a call to action, encouraging individuals to embrace service and leadership as powerful pathways to building stronger, more compassionate communities.
Whether it’s mentoring young people, resolving conflicts, or coaching individuals to discover their potential, my mission remains the same: to inspire positive change and empower others to thrive. Join me on this journey as we work together to create a world where everyone has the opportunity to shine.
