External Reviews
"Gina Miller is one of the most exciting breakthrough leaders of the last few years. Her unbreakable courage in the face of danger has been an example to us all, but this courage was not developed overnight. Hers is a life of triumph over adversity and fighting for what she believes to be right. The words in these pages will empower and inspire anyone who wants to make a difference. Change happens when individuals speak truth to power and Gina shows us how in Rise." - June Sarpong.
"Gina Miller's book reflects the extraordinary woman she is - strong, resourceful, principled and brilliant - a heroine for our times." - Baroness Helena Kennedy QC.
The Author
Gina Miller was the lead claimant in the 2016 constitutional legal case against the UK Government over triggering Article 50 and the sole claimant in 2019 regarding Prime Minister Boris Johnson's attempt to prorogue - close down - Parliament for five weeks. 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. @thatginamiller
