The team behind Motherhood Uncensored
Jess Payne
Trustee
Jess is from southern England but lives by a beautiful beach in the north of Scotland with her partner and beach loving dog. When not working she can be found marathon training, adventuring and relishing fine wines (or just wine).
Jess is a great believer in the power of dads and passionate about challenging the myth that only women can or should do all the array of things that we call Motherhood.
Beverley Pannell
Founder & Managing Editor
Beverley has never ventured all that far from SE England apart from a couple of years in Aberdeen. She lives with her partner and toddler and her main pastime involves catching said toddler launching herself off furniture.
Beverley’s experiences of pregnancy and motherhood made her reflect on the range of things we don’t let ourselves say, or even think, about motherhood. She founded Motherhood Uncensored to try and create a space for more honesty.
Saveeta De Alwis
Trustee
Saveeta is from Sri Lanka but now lives in London with her partner and son (with whom she shares a delight in all things Disney).
Saveeta is particularly interested in breaking silences about mental health and about how societal and cultural expectations weigh on individuals.
