Jen catapulted into the spotlight in June 2020 after participating in a Black Lives Matter Protest in Bristol. A photograph capturing her with her fist raised in the Black Power Salute on the once-empty plinth, where Transatlantic Slave Trader Edward Colston once stood, quickly went viral. Following this, renowned artist Marc Quinn reached out to Jen, inviting her to collaborate on the creation of a black resin statue titled 'A Surge of Power'. Even months later, this groundbreaking event continues to spark discussions and inspire individuals to delve deeper into the long-overlooked issue of structural racial inequalities. Jen has since shared her powerful narrative with TMW Unlimited, MullenLowe Group, Veale Wasbrough Vizards LLP, Surrey Docks, and the Labour Party. If you wish to motivate your team with Jen's "accidental activism" story and enhance their understanding of how they can make a difference, engage in further dialogue with Jen.
