After spending more than a decade working as a Software Engineer and Web developer in various banks and media agencies in central London and Canary Wharf, my career took a U-turn when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), this life-changing moment led me to dedicate myself full-time to my not-for-profit patient organisation, The Nerve of My Multiple Sclerosis.
Since my MS diagnosis, my journey has been about breaking societal norms and amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities within the MS landscape.
Establishing The Nerve of My Multiple Sclerosis CIC, I created a safe space specifically for Black women navigating the challenges of living with MS. Through this organisation, I tirelessly advocate, support, and empower, aiming to change misconceptions and nurture a sense of belonging for all.
My dedication to advocacy and passion for change has enabled me to have access to various platforms, shedding light on the lack of diversity in MS research and media. My goal extends beyond just representation; it is about reshaping how MS is perceived and approached in diverse forms.
As I strive to break barriers, I aspire to be a source of hope for Black women worldwide, encouraging them to share their experiences and demand a place at the table. My mission is to revolutionise MS awareness, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable future.
