Lhamea suffered both physical and verbal abuse for three years in her first secondary school, and as no action was taken her parents moved her to another school. Lhamea, when going through this ordeal decided to put pen to paper and write and produce music about what she was experiencing. When Lhamea performed to the public the feedback was phenomenal, not only was she helping herself overcome the problems she was helping others too.

Lhamea decided to use her music to address other issues and writes about creating your own destiny to achieve your goals. From this Lhamea's new school nominated her for the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Award for young people, for being an inspiration to the community and peers and overcoming her past experiences. On winning this award Lhamea became an Ambassador, and regularly speaks to young people, MPs and the media, including Radio 1 and ITV lunchtime news.
