An extraordinary account of what it means to stand up for justice, and for yourself, no matter the cost
´It is when things feel the most uncertain, and we are at our most tired, frustrated and worn out, that we must dig deep. That´s when we need to find it within ourselves not to turn away and hide in our bunkers, but to rise up and be even more vocal . . . If we hide, when we emerge from our hiding places the world might be transformed into a hostile, alien environment in which we have no say at all and where the things we love and value no longer exist.´
Unapologetic, businesslike and impatient to make a difference AFUA HIRSCH Guardian
Gina Miller was the lead claimant in the 2016 constitutional legal case against the UK Government over triggering Article 50. Born and raised in Guyana, she went to boarding school in England at the age of eleven and went on to study Law at the University of East London, then Marketing at the University of North London. In 2009, she and her husband Alan Miller co-founded SCM Direct, a disruptive investment management company. She has three children: Lucy-Ann, Luca and Lana.

Gina is a passionate believer in responsible capitalism and benevolence and feels we all have a duty to give back to the society that affords us success, including actively stepping up and defending what is right.
