I have previously covered Dreph's work in his "You Are Enough" series; in this series, he paints a selection of inspiring and community-oriented black women across London. The last that I photographed features Tracy Blackstock, the mother of Dreph's son who works at resettling offenders into the community in order to get them back on track. Layla Hussein is the subject of the eighth edition. Layla is a psychtherapist who works primarily with people who have been sexually abused and campaigns against female genitalia mutilation; she has won awards for a documentary on the subject and has appeared in numerous publications.
