The main promises were that the products would always be safe, ethical and effective, and the company would always treat people well. Despite many failings and complex conflicts, I was confident that these promises would be delivered. When the promises were threatened changes were always made. 

In 2022, I gave birth to twins who had significant health challenges. As a result of difficulties in my personal life, I was no longer able to lead Afrocenchix and, given the economic climate, the shareholders voted for a pre-pack sale.

A pre-pack sale is a pre-negotiated agreement where the entirety of a company’s assets and business is sold to a buyer before the company enters into the formal administration, or liquidation, process.

Under this new ownership it became apparent to me that there were different priorities. After a number of serious instances, I needed to leave October 2023.
