About me & my work
Green Party Councillor, West Norwood
I grew up in Lambeth and have spent my life trying to make it better. During the 2020 lockdown I discovered the Bzz Community Garden by West Norwood Bus Garage — and it changed everything.
I founded Leaves Breathe, a social enterprise supporting residents across 24 community gardens in London: council estates, playgrounds, and homes for the elderly. What started as planting grew into food banks, allotments, social events for isolated neighbours, and networks of peer-to-peer support.
I believe when a community finds its voice — in a garden or beyond — it gains the power to tackle its biggest challenges. That’s why I’m your councillor.
