Born and bred in East London, I spent almost 20 years as an athlete. My first introduction to athletics was at Primary school, where I was a keen participant in PE classes and sports days. I ran long distances and even tried a couple of field events, but that wasn’t my strong point. I love running, and it wasn’t until I joined a local athletics club when I was 12 that I was introduced to sprinting and hurdles. My coach told me that I was fast enough to be a quarter miler at that age, but not fast enough to run for long periods of time, so we decided that I needed to focus on becoming a 400m Hurdler.

I became Double European Champion in the 400m and 4x400m relay in 2013, a World Championship in 2012, and competed at a home Olympic Games in London 2012. 

However, nothing lasts forever. In 2013, I sustained a knee injury which required surgery and 4 years of intense rehabilitation. In 2017, I returned to the sport, getting a chance to  wear the British vest  again and compete in front of my home crowd, winning a silver medal at the World Championships in London. 

In 2019, I decided to hang up my spikes. In the same year, I married my husband, Mike Edwards, an entrepreneur and Nigerian High Jumper. In 2020, I welcomed our son, Matthew, into the world. We first introduced him to the world through YouTube (yes, my husband filmed me giving birth!). This was the start of our YouTube Channel where we share our lives, travel, and daily chaos!

I love to travel, look good and be in front of the camera. I have worked as an ambassador for many cooperate Brands. I am a mother and wife, but I am also an aspiring model, TV personality and an influencer/youtuber. I believe that hard work pays off and that you can achieve anything if you put in the effort. 

I am currently in a new phase of my life, and this is the hub of my journey. Thank you for visiting my site! and I hope you have a great time browsing.
