About Us

Her grandmother's narrative profoundly influences her doctoral research, delving into the lasting impact of immigration during the Windrush era on the psyche of subsequent generations of racial minority women in the UK. The study aims to explore the generational effects of racial melancholia, mourning, and mimicry, shedding light on the intricate interplay between historical experiences and the mental well-being of the mothers and daughters of Windrush. This research initiative seeks to uncover insights that can contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by minority women and inform targeted mental health support strategies within the UK.

Embarking on a mission to understand the mental health landscape for three generations of black Caribbean females in the UK, she uncovered the stark underrepresentation of black women in both professional roles and as recipients of mental health support. The pervasive impact of gendered and racialized issues on the mental health of black women has often been overshadowed by stereotypes, stigmatization, and misogynoir.

Motivated by this revelation, she founded this foundation as a dedicated effort to confront and counteract the prejudices and discrimination faced by black women seeking to practice and access mental health services in the UK. Join us in championing a more inclusive and supportive environment for the mental well-being of minority women.
