But throughout her career in the Met, she experienced regular incidents of gender and racial discrimination.
She joined the Metropolitan police, and in the following thirty years she broke through every glass ceiling, eventually making history by becoming the first BAME woman to be promoted through the ranks to Chief Superintendent.
One day she grabbed her two year old son and boarded a coach to London, where she knew no-one. She met her husband for the first time on her wedding day, and went on to experience violence from him and his brothers. Born in Handsworth to immigrant parents who spoke no English, she was forced into an arranged marriage aged just 16. My friend Parm Sandhu is one of the most remarkable people I have ever met.
