An automatic exemption from jury service for women on maternity leave should be enacted now. Despite having raised this with the Justice Sec in Dec it has taken another woman on maternity leave being called to jury service to get this on the agenda - but women need action now.

What a fantastic message! The power of positive thinking is essential to overcoming life's challenges. Spare a moment on #WorldAIDSDay2020 to support sufferers and help to fight the stigma of HIV/AIDS.

28 years of fabulously hosting HIV.
15 years of being on ARVs.
20 years since my official HIV diagnosis.I'm still here.
I'm still a beautiful story. I refuse to give power to a tiny virus that cannot speak.
I AM GREATER THAN HIV
