An evening off from campaigning, I attended the Hackney Empire where legends, Jacqueline (Jacqui) Mckenzie, Patrick Vernon & Anthony Bryan were inducted into the Windrush Hall of Fame in a spectacular performance by 300 Hackney school children

Delighted to speak at the 2nd successful Windrush National Organisation's International Conference in Birmingham yesterday on the #Windrush compensation scheme & also on a panel on the social care needs of Black elders, in the context of my mother. Congrats to Windrush National Organisation WNO. W.Movement UK.
