Zita Holbourne is a woman who refuses to stand still in the face of injustice. A poet, artist, and lifelong activist, she has woven creativity and resistance into a single, unbreakable thread. As National Vice President of the PCSU, she has shaped the fight for workers' rights across the UK. As joint National Chair of Artists' Union England, she champions equality in the creative industries with the same fire she brings to every campaign. Zita is a force of nature-her art a protest, her poetry a call to action, her activism a testament to what courage looks like in practice. This is the story of a woman who has never stopped fighting for freedom, equality, and justice-and who inspires others to rise with her.
