Activist Mina Smallman
So my story of hopefulness is a person Mina Smallman. it's actually a tragic story of despair, but she gives me great hope. Mina came to prominence when her two daughters were both murdered in an unprovoked random attack in a park in Wembley. On the media she's been unbelievably composed and articulate drawing attention to the fact that their deaths were not taken seriously by the police because of the colour of their skin. She said 'I think the notion that all lives matter is absolutely right, but it's not true.' And yes of course she's angry, but she has such dignity and such clarity. As a mother, she's completely broken but she's also an activist and I think she's extraordinary.
