As I watch the Trainees pass out I remember fondly my pass out 34 years ago. I joined @WestMidsFire at the tender age of 16, as the first black women FFer. On 11th Nov this year I will retire. It has been a journey and I’m proud to have served my community, and given my all.

Sharing the stage with two inspirational women was a pleasure. It’s something I don’t do often, but that is required if we are to learn the lessons of the past and build on the successes. I pay tribute to the late @Wayne_Brown5 who has been a champion for women’s empowerment..
We were delighted to host an International Women's Day event at our headquarters today. We heard inspirational speeches from WMFS Group Commanders Samantha Samuels and Ella Warden, and @DrSophieKH from @unibirmingham. #WeAreWMFS #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion
