About Me
I am domestic abuse campaigner, survivor, writer and keynote speaker. I successfully campaigned to free my mother, Sally Challen, after almost a decade in prison in a landmark appeal in 2019 having fought to recognise the lifetime of coercive control she suffered.
I continue to speak out against men's violence against women, coercive control and the impact of domestic abuse on children, as well as men's role in tackling misogyny.
I am a Prison Advice and Care Trust Ambassador (PACT) and a Supporter of the National Centre For Domestic Violence.

My work has lead me to publish my writings on multiple news outlets from The Guardian, Al Jazeera, The Times and The Telegraph and many more, but here I want the freedom to explore stories in more depth and do some things different. I want to create a community that values the stories we share. Some articles will be short reflections, others deep dives, all intended to give a perspective to you that is not widely covered. Who knows what the future holds, audio interviews with people I greatly admire, maybe short documentaries eventually. Everything and anything is possible so subscribe and join my community to find out!
