One mother's lasting love, faith and fight for change

After sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman were killed in news that shocked the UK, their mother Mina shares how she campaigns for change in the face of unthinkable loss.

Mina Smallman is a former Church of England archdeacon and teacher whose daughters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman were murdered in 2020. In news that sent shockwaves across the United Kingdom, two police officers took and distributed photographs and selfies with their bodies. Since then, Mina has campaigned to end violence against women and girls. She has written a memoir called A Better Tomorrow: Life Lessons in Hope and Strength.
