Today I Choose Freedom would like to give a warm welcome to author and BROOD Magazine editor and co-founder Lolo Stubbs - Author who is joining us as an Ambassador 💜

Lolo visited our refuge services last month and met some of our team, and will be returning over the summer to support our "Your time, your space" sessions.

Lolo says:

"It is a privilege to become an Ambassador for I Choose Freedom. Having known CEO Emma Bray for years and having enjoyed a long working relationship with Teresa Parker who is consultant Communications Director for the charity, joining as an Ambassador feels like a natural and exciting step.

As many people will know, this is a cause very close to my heart, and stepping into an active role means the world to me. I look forward to helping raise awareness for the charity, supporting their vital services, and, most importantly, inspiring survivors on their journey forward."

Teresa Parker, consultant Communications Director for I Choose Freedom, says:

"Lolo is a wonderful and genuinely inspiring woman who I have campaigned and raised awareness with for many years. She understands what it is like to rebuild your life and overcome barriers, and is keen to support other women to do the same.

Working closely with I Choose Freedom and seeing the fantastic work the charity does first-hand over the past year has been incredible. Together we are raising awareness and building an Ambassador programme that feels authentic and adds value to the already-excellent work of the ICF team."

Lolo joins global economic abuse expert Dr Nicola Sharp-Jeffs who became I Choose Freedom's first Ambassador last year.
