Why I Love Being a Mummer: Mumming to me is about being a part of a community and family that has embraced me as their own. I enjoy watching us evolve and grow each year challenging ourselves to do more and to do better. There is no better feeling than walking down Broad knowing our hard work has payed off and enjoying the moment as a mum family. Best of all, my daughters are always right there with me, from work days to working on costumes to strutting down Broad and I look forward to watching them grow in our traditions.
Fun Fact: Cake is the one true love of my life
