    Big congrats. I hads goose bumps when i read it in the dailies on Saturday. We have so many mutual friends on FB. Also, John Amaechi ex-NBA star was given an award too. It's a shame, there's just one comment here.

    She has saved a lot of people from slavery in the UK. The Queen should grant her a OBE or an MBE someday. Debbie ride on!
