Mina Smallman has lived through the unimaginable. On Saturday 6 June 2020, her daughters, Bibaa Henry & Nicole Smallman, were killed in a park by a male stranger as they celebrated Bibaa’s birthday. Mina has been fighting for justice ever since – for her daughters, & for the rest of us, by challenging the toxic culture in the Metropolitan Police & calling out the wider institutional misogyny, racism & classism in Britain. Now, she tells her story for the first time. Framed by Mina’s experience of losing her two daughters, Bibaa & Nicole, ‘A Better Tomorrow’ reflects on the lessons in strength, forgiveness & hope that life has taught her – from her difficult childhood, to her embrace of motherhood, her time as a schoolteacher, & then as the first woman of colour to be an Archdeacon in the Church of England. Told through grief & with compassion, humour & love, this deeply personal memoir is Mina’s beacon of hope.
