Congrats to her... this is more newsworthy.....!!!
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.
yep. Aunty Debbie deserves this. I worked with AFRUCA in its hey days as a volunteer and i can tell you that i saw this coming...
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!
