Inini Initiative Ltd

Hello friends… I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself and the work I do.

I’m a community organiser, public health specialist, and social scientist working to challenge the structural injustices that shape migrant mental health in the UK. My work is rooted in racial justice, collective care, and long-term engagement with migrant communities.

I’ve recently completed a PhD looking at how hostile migration regimes, racism, and institutional neglect limit access to mental health services for Black sub-Saharan Afrikan migrant communities.

This year also marks ten years since I founded Inini Initiative. It was through the peer support groups and community-led work we built together that the motivation my PhD first emerged.

From next week, I will be sharing some insights and findings from my doctoral research here and on other platforms. I’m sharing this because the research has important implications for how mental health services are designed and delivered, and I want it to reach people who can help change systems.

I’ll share more information and links soon for anyone who is interested.
