Marlene Headley, who prefers to don a bit of nomenclatural fancy dress by calling herself “Ngozi Fulani”, is probably wishing she’d kept her big, fat yap shut, now. “Fulani”, whose penchant for fancy dress extends to dressing like an explosion in the costume department of The Lion King stage musical, nonetheless claimed to be “racially violated” because an old woman dared wonder where her ancestors came from.
Although Fulani succeeded in having an old lady vilified and dismissed from her decades-long role at the palace, she’s also finding that it’s not just Inglan wot is a bitch – so is karma.
The charity at the heart of the latest Buckingham Palace race row could face an official probe into its finances in response to a string of claims made online.
The Charity Commission is reportedly ‘assessing material’ related to abuse and domestic violence charity Sistah Space, which offers support to victims of abuse and violence within the African and Caribbean communities.
Or so it says. In fact, like Black Lives Matter, its real activities are alleged to be lining the pockets of its cronies.
Thanks, not to the supposedly eagle-eyed legacy media but a humble Twitter user, the world is quickly learning that Sistah Space may not be all it claims.
The charity continues to make headlines this week after a social media user posted a series of allegations over its organisation and finances, thought to be the basis for the Charity Commission’s involvement […]
The Twitter thread, containing almost 200 tweets, purports to highlight issues with Sistah Space’s finances and the way the organisation is run. It explicitly mentioned two grants worth £12,000 and £40,000 given to Sistah Space by the Greater London Assembly (GLA).
Chair of the London Assembly audit panel Neil Garratt confirmed on social media that he has asked the assembly’s finance chief to ‘look into it’.
The Greater London authority is particularly keen to find out just where tens of thousands of pounds of its own money went after it was pocketed by Sistah Space.
The first GLA grant was awarded in 2019, giving Sistah Space £12,000 to run a poll – but the anonymous Twitter user claimed the survey was a ‘10-minute job’ which would not have cost that amount.
The second grant, worth £40,000, was made to the charity in 2020 using its registration number, but was allegedly labelled as being given to an organisation under a different name, Royal Dock.
But the GLA grant is just small bananas in the greater scope of Sistah Space’s money-making.
The charity, which operates throughout London, registered total income of £363,506 for the financial year ending March 2021, including two government contracts worth £52,346.
This compares to just more than £50,000 in 2019. It says it is saving money to purchase a property as a refuge for victims of domestic violence and abuse, has also received donations from the Department for Culture, Media, Digital and Sport and £60,000 from Comic Relief.
According to the Charity Commission’s website, the year’s financial report was received almost 70 days late.
When in doubt, blame Covid.
The latest trustee report, signed off by founder Ms Fulani, blamed staffing issues for the problems collating its account after the chief finance officer ‘as off for a very long time due to Covid issues’.

Or did “Ngozi Fulani” just have trouble keeping up with what name she was using? At varying times, she has used the names, Ngozi Headley, Ngozi Headley-Fulani, Marlene Headley, Marlene Fulani, Mary Headley, Mary Fulani, Mary Headley-Fulani and Sister Ngozi.
Another person whose name changes with bewildering frequency is the owner of a (now-dissolved owing hundreds of thousands to creditors) business which sold (not donated, sold) goods to Sistah Space – one Kassai Antonio Fulani, otherwise known as Kass Fulani, Kass Headley, Kass Fulani-Headley, Kassai Fulani, Kassai Headley or Kassai Fulani-Headley.
Or, for simplicity’s sake, Ngozi Fulani’s son.
Keeping up the family tradition of confusing nomenclature and grant-hoovering is one Djan Headley, aka, Djanomi, Djan, Djanie, Djand, Headley or Fulani.
No prizes for guessing that it’s Mama Fulani’s daughter.
Another name that crops up frequently is none other than race-baiting Labour politician Diane Abbott. Apparently they share more than an inability to deal with basic mathematics.
Meanwhile, members of the charity were signing off on their own annual reports, posing as “Independent Examiner”. In that time, as it happens, the charity’s “administrative expenses” year on year increased by 4703 per cent. Yet, they didn’t manage to utilise accountancy services.
Hmm. Nothing suspicious there.
And what were the charity’s members getting up to while raking in all those grants? Interestingly, their (rent-free) premises was equipped with CCTV cameras. They make for interesting viewing.
In most videos I have watched, the front door is left wide open and Sistah Space members are often sat outside selling donated items or twerking in the street while blasting music outdoors. I neither claim to be a woman nor do I claim to be a domestic violence victim, however I imagine that if I were then I probably wouldn’t feel comfortable entering into a space that would be attracting a great deal of attention.

I rather suspect that “Ngozi Fulani” is beginning to wish she hadn’t attracted so much attention to herself, either.
