Focus E15 Mum makes pages of top photo book
A COURAGEOUS mum who started a radical housing campaign after being made homeless has been snapped for a new collection of photographs of working-class life.
This black and white portrait of Jasmine Stone with her daughter Safia is part of London Life, the collection by Colin O’Brien that is currently Amazon’s bestselling photography book.
Ms Stone became a standard-bearer in the fight for council housing after she and other mothers were evicted from the Focus E15 hostel in Newham.
