Everyone should have a positive role model and I wished I had someone like me at school or around me to push me to reach my goals, this inspired me this year in April 2021 to create Walk it Out.

Helping others always gave me satisfaction and a feel good factor so in my spare time out of my own working hours, I would support and mentor in my community but i wanted to start my own organisation.

I wanted women to know and feel that they can also achieve their goals in life and to never give up on their dreams.

Lockdown 2020 really made me think about what could really be going on behind closed doors and I wanted to reach out knowing that domestic abuse had risen and anxieties had increased after the Sarah Everard death.

Being a parent myself I could see the struggles women were facing and I really wanted to support females in my area. The only way I could do this during the pandemic was to walk and talk through parks in Redbridge, so I made a post on social media and received a huge response.

I then arranged my first walk and started installing positive mindsets, building confidence and resilience in women, making a positive impact in their lives.

My aim is to empower and raise awareness for women, creating a safe environment where women feel acknowledged, heard and valued.

I believe that supporting and guiding young females and women in overcoming their challenges, facing their fears, building their self esteem and conquering themselves, will lead to better relationships and better decision making, allowing women to feel stronger and more in control.

I am very excited in making positive changes in Redbridge and in the community, our group is free to join and welcome all ladies in the area to come and feel empowered and enjoy our beautiful parks.
