A Black woman with her hair in a ponytail presents to a classroom of secondary school students wearing purple uniforms. She stands in front of a large projected slide displaying "EVERY HUMAN HAS RIGHTS" with illustrated diverse hands raised up. The students sit at individual desks arranged in rows, attentively listening to the human rights presentation in what appears to be a school assembly hall or classroom.

"It was great to feel validated and recognised and seen. A lot of what we do is about making people feel seen. Suddenly we do too in our own way."

Why did you seek investment?

I sought investment not just for capital, but for partnership — someone who would believe in my vision and walk alongside me.

Why did you choose the Growth Impact Fund?

With GIF, I found both the support and the trust I was looking for. They believed in what I was building from the start.

What support have you appreciated the most post-investment?

They’ve offered unwavering support and the quiet confidence to let me lead, while always being there when needed.
