Mina Smallman is a retired Anglican priest and former high school teacher, as well as an activist, and the author of A Better Tomorrow Life Lessons in Hope and Strength.
In June 2020, Mina’s daughters – Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman – were killed in a park by a stranger as they celebrated Bibaa’s birthday. Mina has been campaigning ever since, challenging the toxic culture in the Metropolitan Police, and calling out the wider institutional misogyny, racism and classism in Britain.
An Honorary Fellow of Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge, Mina was awarded the title of Emeritus the Venerable in recognition of her work as Archdeacon of Southend.
