It is not just with excitement, but with profound honor, that I announce the launch of my book, "Butterflies Move Freely," on June 20, 2024, in commemoration of World & Children Refugee Day. 📚 This book is a call to action for comprehensive pro-immigration reform, built on the principles of unity, liberty, and prosperity for all. This goes beyond the book—this is a pro-immigration campaign that aims to make a real difference in the nation by: 🦋 Exploring The Issues: Engaging in real conversations with community members and leaders on the issues of immigration. 🦋 Establishing a Legal Aid Fund: Providing crucial support to navigate the complexities of immigration. As we move forward, I call upon each of you to join me in this vital cause. Please comment / engage and share to help spread the message. Together, we can pave the way for millions seeking a path to citizenship and a place to call home. Visit ButterfliesMoveFreely.com to explore the issues or sign the letter of support. Let us unite and strive for a brighter, more inclusive future. Together, we can create lasting change. 🌟

Escaping a place isn't just about leaving behind physical borders, it's about leaving behind a thousand memories too heavy to carry. 💔 The journey of refugees is one of incredible resilience, where they brave distance and time to find a new dawn of hope and healing. Let's remember the strength it takes to start anew, the courage it takes to rebuild, and the power of compassion that can light the path forward. 🌻🤍 #fivestar #fivestarinternational #immigration #immigrationadvice #sponsorlicense #visas #ukvisas #spousevisa #entryclearance #ukimmigration

Excellent work by #refugeecouncil 👏 Here's an alternate, sensible, fair and humane UK national strategy for refugees. This is a strategy that sees the individual, puts them at the centre of a fair process and treats them with the dignity they deserve. Now lets work to ensure this becomes policy! #immigration #humanrights #refugeeswelcome https://t.co/e4oUbG5N7e

Petition to extend settled status to Ukrainian refugees. I encourage support for the petition to grant Ukrainian refugees in the UK settled status. Current 3-year visa schemes, expiring in 2025, create unnecessary stress and restrict long-term planning for these refugees. The lack of a stable visa option also risks pushing them into illegal residency. A guaranteed settled status offers a humane and beneficial solution for refugees and the UK. Please consider signing the petition. Link in the comments. #ukrainianrefugees #settledstatus #ukpolicy
