Welcome to ACAMHA

In 2020, I created Mixed, Blessed and Blended - a safe space for connection and celebration, where families could honour their heritage, culture, and traditions while embracing others. That small community seed has since grown into ACAMHA, a bold platform that challenges racism, dismantles stereotypes, and uplifts underrepresented voices.

At ACAMHA, I lead initiatives focused on education, cultural equity, and structural transformation. One of my proudest achievements has been co-creating an anti-racism education subgroup in collaboration with Highland Council and Highland One World—working to make education more inclusive, honest, and empowering for all learners.

I also serve as a trustee for Refugee Sanctuary Scotland and the Scottish International Development Alliance, where I contribute to global justice initiatives through the Global Citizenship steering group. In 2024 and 2025, I participated as a volunteer panellist at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW68 and CSW69), contributing to global dialogues on gender justice, intersectionality, and the importance of elevating the voices of women and girls too often overlooked in policymaking.

In 2024, I was honoured to receive a Creative Lives Award, celebrating the impact of community-rooted cultural work. That same year, I was named one of the 100 Most Influential Black People in Scotland during Black History Month - an acknowledgment that deeply affirms my personal and professional journey.

At my core, I believe in the power of culture, the necessity of connection, and the radical act of creating spaces where every identity is honoured and every story matters. My work isn’t about ticking boxes - it’s about rewriting narratives, dismantling barriers, and shaping a future in which equity isn’t an ambition - it’s a lived reality.
