A domestic abuse charity founded by Ngozi Fulani, who was asked repeatedly where she “really came from” at Buckingham Palace, has stopped work over safety fears.
Sistah Space, which offers support to women of African and Caribbean heritage affected by domestic and sexual abuse, said it was “forced to temporarily cease” many of its operations after Ngozi Fulani spoke out about her interaction with Lady Susan Hussey.
In a statement on its Instagram yesterday night, the charity said: “Thank you for the continued support and messages. “We are overwhelmed by the amount of support and encouragement and look forward to fully reinstating our services as soon as safely possible.”She resigned from the household and apologised after the incident which happened at the Queen Consort’s reception highlighting violence against women and girls.
