From Immigration Detention to The QUEEN New Year's Honours list 2020.
I am Kolbassia Haoussou MBE - Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
I am so proud.
What if I told you. I did know that fighting injustice. 
Will one day become my full-time job at one of the best charity in the world Freedom from Torture.
That I will be appointed as Survivor Champion by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
That I will be honoured by Her Majesty the Queen for service for torture and sexual violence survivors. 
That I will be an inspiration for other survivors.

I would be lying to you but here I am.

But I knew that I am going to figure out how I am going to be remembered.
I am going to use voice serving people who have been hurt like me.
And since then I had the single-minded ambition to restore some dignity to survivors of torture and sexual torture, present ourselves as experts and create space for that expertise to shine.

I have always wanted to be a noble person to transcend my suffering and hurts into wisdom.
And I believe that I have a gift from God and I am a lucky person.

I tried my hardest to focus on being a good person.

As you get older things in life will be taken away from you, that is part of life. But don’t ever let anybody take away your dignity and your belief.

At the time I was worried about my identity, this is me now.

Certainly, my grandmother looking down on me now and probably saying this my boy.
He will always strive to be the best.

The things that have happened to me were cruel, evil, unfair. 
But I have to learn to let go, like Mandela, like Gandhi, like Martin Luther Jr and many survivors out there. 
I have learnt to show love, forgiveness, kindness, respect and understanding.  

My gratitude goes to my friends at SSO, my colleagues present and past at FFT and team at the PSVI at FCO.
My nieces and nephews, my sisters and brothers, my love, my boys those who put on with my sacrifices.

I have never thought about an honour.
I have never thought about making money.
I have never thought about making a name for myself.
I have only thought about what difference I can make in other people lives.
As my grandmother always tell the best job ever you can do in serving others.
