I started running 7 years ago after deciding to lead a healthier lifestyle and be around longer for my kids. Since then my love for running has grown, I’ve achieved so much, been to places I’d never thought I’d go and met some amazing people in the running community, who have become more like family. Running has enriched my life and given me confidence to step out of my comfort zone. I believe it’s not about how fast you are but how far you can go.
Being part of Black Girls Do Run UK, a running community created to encourages and inspire more black women to take up running, has completely changed my life for the better. The growth has been phenomenal and has made great impact in the community as well as on the start line. I’ve completed numerous half marathons, 2 marathons and 3 ultra marathons, including taking part in the Speed Project LALV 2024.
I am a qualified run leader and really enjoy helping other women achieve their full potential and supporting them on their running journey. My goal is to continue motivating others to run, increase diversity in grassroots running and to keep challenging myself for personal growth.
