“Natasha visited HMP Bronzefield and spoke very openly and honestly about her past and her journey up to today. She spoke to the prisoners about her life, the darkest times and how she pushed through and overcame adversity to get to where she is today. The prisoners were moved and visibly emotional to hear about her life as this clearly resonated with some of them. Her directness, sincerity and endearing personality all engaged the prisoners, and they listened and more importantly, felt every word. As this was for International Women’s Day, it was important for the female prisoners to see a strong woman stand up and show how you overcome your past and that life isn’t over, regardless of the struggles and mistakes made.” – Rob, Regimes Manager Justice Services, HMP Bronzefield
