Voices From The Movement: Meet Jolie

Welcome to Voices from the Movement, where we spotlight the real people driving real change across Coventry. 

With so much noise, political division, and negativity in the media today, the needs and voices of everyday people are too often overlooked. At Connecting For Good, we believe that real progress happens when communities come together to reclaim the narrative.

In this feature, one of our core team leaders shares their thoughts and passion behind their work and how you can step up to make Coventry a safer, more inclusive place for everyone.

Read their story below and see how you can get involved!

Step Up

With so much negativity in this world, being fuelled by the media and political extremism, the voices of the common people and the needs of the common people are overlooked and even negated. Connecting for Good gives us an opportunity for those voices to be heard, to drive change and progress in Coventry

Speak Out

If I had a magic wand, I would make Coventry an inclusive city for all minorities and marginalised communities. There are too many incidents of hate crime, discrimination and harassment every day – every human being has the right to live in peace and safety, without fear of harm or hunger. And through collective action we have the power to help.

Shape Coventry

Coming from a marginalised community, I know the pain of being a subject of media bias, a political football. My community is at the heart of what I do, but I realised that my voice can help every other marginalised community – I’m here to speak if you can’t, and support you if you can. And I want you to join me on the journey to effect change

The Call To Action
