“You are worthy. Don’t ever give up.”
Monica Gregory, who works with homeless people in Oxford, has been speaking out as part of our Food Power programme. We talked to her about the importance of dignity, agency and power.
Monica works with Good Food Oxford, one of the local food poverty alliances involved from early on in Food Power. She found confidence through speaking out alongside other people in Food Power, highlighting the poverty that exists in Oxford but is often not acknowledged.
“It doesn’t matter what people think of you, you know, as long as you believe in yourself and you love yourself. Just look in the mirror and tell yourself that you know that you love yourself and that you are worthy. Don’t ever give up.”
What an amazing woman she is full of compassion love and empathy I have so much respect for this amazing lady we need more people like Monica
She is so incredibly inspirational and has a beautiful soul
I wish her well in her continued journey being the voice
