Jen was thrust into the limelight in June 2020 after attending a Black Lives Matter Protest in Bristol. A photo of her with her fist raised in the Black Power Salute on top of the empty plinth where Transatlantic Slave Trader, Edward Colston once stood went viral. Shortly after, she contacted by world renowed artist Marc Quinn asking her to collaborate with him to create the black resin statue of her titled 'Surge of Power'. 
Months later, this history-making moment is still raising conversations and inspiring people to learn more about the structural racial inequalities that have been ignored for too long. Jen has since shared her story with TMW Unlimited, MullenLowe Group, Veale Wasbrough Vizards LLP, Surrey Docks and the Labour Party. If you'd like to continue the conversation and better your whole team's understand of how we can all call out racial inequalities, do it with Jen.
