I'm probably best known for my award-winning (if I may say) social enterprise, Gift Wellness and the Gift Wellness Foundation, the charity behind PeriodPoverty.uk. Since I started trading in 2013, Gift Wellness has been a labour of love that feeds my passions of creativity, charity and entrepreneurship all in one place! 

So what is Gift Wellness? Well from our non-toxic, hypoallergenic menstrual pads to our luxurious range of vegan cleansing and shampoo bars we make and sell natural, healthy lifestyle products that give our customers a feeling of well-being and the knowledge they're supporting a brand that cares about their individual needs as well as the environment and needs of those less fortunate. Because for every pack we sell we donate period pads to homeless and refugee women, food-banks and schools. 

 

The inspiration behind all this was my daughter Halimah. You could say that this is a mother and daughter story… Here is a short video of me describing my Gift Wellness journey.
