I’m the Neighbourhood Manager for Soho Finger and Gib Heath. I moved to Handsworth from Jamaica when I was nine and went to school nearby. Many of my family and friends still live in this area and I’ve worked on a number of projects that have involved Soho Finger and Gib’s Heath before taking up this job.

To find out more about my neighbourhood you can visit the About Soho Finger and Gib Heath page.
