Mervelee Myers Story
My name is Movery Livingston, Publisher of Exodus magazine, the first Christian interdenominational magazine that was launched in 1983. At that time, it provided a platform for Christians to come together to share views, news and dialogue with one another. MM Response: Is this still happening? I contacted the Rev Rose Hudson-Wilkin who I meet at Housing for Women AGM in April 2014 to mediate and she refused
We had some outstanding contributors whose foray in writing we launched including Dr Joel Edwards who was the former General Director of the Evangelical Alliance, Pastor Don McFarlane, the former Union President of the Seventh Day Adventist Church and Dr Joe Aldred, former Secretary of Churches Together in England. MM Response: I have met above mentioned at functions but I must single out Dr. Joe Aldred for his un-Christian like behaviours towards me on Facebook. Reasons he is hiding on Twitter and pretending he don’t know me.
I am publishing a 40th Anniversary commemorative issue of the magazine which will be:
A4 | Gloss | Full Colour | 120+ pages. We will also be posting the issue on line once the hard copies are sold. MM Response: I have published IN HONOUR OF STRONG WOMEN EVERYWHERE signed by the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley. At the launch of “A New Met for London” in Brixton. Here is what Chris Eubank had to say
The Special Edition is full of Church News, Interviews, A Spotlight On, Health and Well-Being, Church Profiles and regulars including Christians on the Move, Christians in Business, Christian Women at the Top Table and Emerging Leaders. MM Response: My website created from scratch was stolenby Guy Lawful and Mark Upton.
It also has excellent features that include the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye who is responsible for over 9 million members, Lord Paul Boateng who was elected as one of the first Black MPs in 1987. He was also featured on the front cover of Exodus in one of the original issues. MM Response: Mervelee Myers was page 1 of ITV News for Windrush 70.
Lord Leslie Griffiths, former President of the Methodist Conference and former Pastor of Wesley Chapel has also written for this issue and with the General election near, we have Lord Simon Woolley, Principal of Homerton College, Cambridge and founder of Operation Black Vote talking about the importance of the Church vote. Professor Kevin Fenton CBE, President of Public Health England talks about Building Better Health. MM Response: My husband Arnold Ebenezer Tomlinson was neglected in Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. He died on BYRON ward alone and scared because on the day I was at Windrush Square for the Windrush Vigil, Nurse Betty called Security to cover up the ABUSE and staff shortage.
The magazine’s target audience is Leadership within the Black-led church along with the denominational leaders within churches and the Black community. MM Response: Some will be named, I am a leader in my own rights.
The initial print run: 5,000 copies.
Distribution: The Leaders will receive a complimentary copy of the magazine and there will also be copies available for sale to church attendees.
Launch Date: 1st July 2024.

I was Mervelee’s tutor when she registered on the Edexcel Level 2 Certificate in Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools (QCF), as a Teaching Assistant. The LSA course lasted five months, from January – May 2016. When I first meet Mervelee, she was a bit reserved and told me she is more of a background person. However, I could identify Mervelee as a more knowledgeable practitioner from the beginning, by the way she engaged, socialized, and interacted with her peers. Mervelee’s peers could also identify her for being cooperative, reliable, and dependable professional, who supported and was willing to share her knowledge as a learning partner.
Mervelee was appointed by her group to lead the presentation for the first group project. It was evident that Mervelee is a natural leader and influencer, who is willing to spend time supporting her peers to reach their individual potentials. I encourage Mervelee to continue using and sharing her knowledge to empower others. Mervelee was open and honest with me about her Mental Health Issues and informed me she was undergoing counselling. Mervelee said she did not want any misunderstandings, as some days are very bad. She was determined to get back to good health and into working.
Mervelee established positive relationships with her peers, encouraging them to do their best. Her sense of humour was appreciated, especially as she was the Mother Figure for the group. Mervelee talked about managing her disabilities with diet and exercise, without relying too much on medication and was an inspiration to all. Her work was above the required standards, and she took great pride in the presentation of her assignments.
Mervelee expressed her wish to do further studies and was planning to enroll on the Higher Level Studies program, to gain her Teaching Qualification/Assessor Award. Mervelee has done volunteering, and I know she is ready to be back working. The acceptance by her peers enabled Mervelee to regain some of the self-confidence she lost over the time she experienced her personal crisis. We are continuing the collaborative working partnerships developed using our shared visions and knowledge to promote inclusion, empowering others to reach their potentials. Mervelee is growing from strength to strength and regaining her confidence.
Mervelee confided that she finds it difficult going back into a toxic environment, where she will be judged by others and feel threatened. The unfair treatments have left Mervelee feeling vulnerable. Mervelee said her vulnerability caused her to question her abilities and function as a more knowledgeable reflective practitioner who developed the listening ethos. Mervelee said she was advised about the benefits from a career change. She decided to return to studying to gain the necessary qualifications to get back into employment.
Although her confidence was destroyed after the years, she spent managing her hidden disabilities to become a graduate at – 50– years– old, she wants to get back working. Work keeps her going and gives her a sense of self-worth. As a Counsellor, I have been supportive of Mervelee’s endeavors and determination to get back into working, even if not full– time. Mervelee’s peers were supportive of her, and those with whom she volunteered were grateful for her help. They have given their blessings to Mervelee’s future endeavors. I believe Mervelee Myers can manage an Early Years Setting, with her qualifications, training, experiences, and passion she has shown for her subject area, whilst doing the Teaching Assistant course. Mervelee continues to empower herself to the highest levels, with her ongoing Continuing Personal Professional Development Plan (CPPDP).
I can vouch for Mervelee Myers as a professional, who is passionate about accomplishing and achieving whatever she sets out to do. Since meeting Mervelee, she has shown her professionalism, to be cooperative. She uses her initiative to empower those she works with in whatever capacity. I would highly recommend Mervelee Myers.

2.3 Forensic history
2.3.1 I have not seen a record of previous convictions recorded against her, but she reported the following to me, not in a good chronological order.
2.3.2 She said that on 30 November 2020, the police attended her home, “Beat me up, assaulted me, took me out half naked”. According to her, the police called the evening before to tell her she was required at the Walworth police station, for an interview on 1 December 2020. She said that she had a prior appointment that day, to do with her diabetes. She requested for another appointment. She told me that four officers visited, she thought they were there to listen to her argument.
2.3.3 She said that she was charged with criminal damage to property. She was fined £50.
2.3.4 She said that in January 2023, she was at home, it was her mother’s birthday, so she dressed up in her cultural clothes and was celebrating. She wanted to put all that had happened to her, behind her and move on, the police attended her home. She said that they made allegations that there was a report of an incident at her address on 10 January 2023. She refuted this, she could not recall this happening. She said that one of the officers, went out and came back, and changed the reason why they were there. In the interim, she was issued papers telling her to attend Croydon Magistrates Court, if she did not attend, she would be arrested. She was given a date to attend Walworth police station for an interview. The next day, 27 January 2023, she went to Croydon Magistrates Court with her husband, nothing was listed. She asked questions, eventually, she spoke to somebody. She had to return to court twice after that. On the third visit to the court, no further action was taken, she was sent a document relating to her mental health.
2.3.5 On 3 February 2023, she said that she went to Walworth police station with her husband, she was represented by a duty solicitor, that was when she was told her neighbour returned from work at 1500 hours, heard screaming and shouting. The neighbour went to her flat, which is above hers (Mervelee Myers), opened her window, and she (Mervelee Myers) cursed her. She said that this is still being investigated to date.
2.3.6 According to her, both the neighbour and her male partner, have kicked her door, this started in November 2023, and is still going on. She told me that she called for assistance from the police the day the equipment was being installed at her home, for her husband to be discharged from hospital. The kicking of the door, she stated happened sometimes three times a week, she has reported to the police, and was provided CAD numbers.
2.3.7 On 27 February 2024, she told me that she called the police three times, because the kicking of the door was getting to her, no-one turned up. She was indoors, did not hear the communal doorbell ring, she then heard knocking on her door. She asked who it was, they said that it was the police. She opened the door, police officers were stood there. She thought because she had called three times, that is why they attended. She told me that some of the officers asked if she knew Arnold Tomlinson, her husband, she invited them in. She stood there waiting for them to come in, she saw one of the officers, put something at the door. She asked what it was, it was a battering ram, no-one answered her. She thinks four officers went into her property, maybe more, she asked for the purpose of their visit. She told me that she suffers with anxiety, she became anxious when she saw the battering ram. She was then told that the visit was about a video she posted online. She told me that she posted a video online because she blogs, she has signed up for a speaking event on 28 April 2024. She stated that, “I am expert authority on subjects from cradle to grave. So my tag line is early intervention is key to survival. Because I work with children”. She said that the video is there as part of her speaking engagements. The video was made in Jamaica, because her husband’s sister was going through a transition (dying), her husband’s niece, explained about her mother falling out of bed. She (Mervelee Myers) advised her niece that she has to safeguard her mother.
2.3.8 She then said that in terms of sensitivity, she did not post the video until after her sister- in-law died. She told me that the police saw the video, and because of their perception of her, she does not know who is feeding the police the information. She said one of the officers asked if she remembered him, he then told her that he remembered her husband, because he had visited, when her husband and herself had a disagreement. At this point, I asked if there was domestic violence between them, and she said no. She told me that she chose to report the incident, as a means of safeguarding both of them, because her husband was traumatised by the death of her mother. MM Updates: Traumatised from he moved in with me and the neighbour targeted him. It has since come to light about his jaw broken when he witnessed a MURDER whilst he was at his job working for Southwark Council. Her husband raised his walking stick to hit her. The police eventually left, but she reported the matter.
2.3.9 She then said that in 2017, she called the police because she was verbally abused by two persons, one of them stole her manuscript, the other one, a barrister, was ordered to pay back the money he took from her, by the Court, as he did not represent her. According to her, the police did not act, stating that, “It was none of their business”. MM Update: The pattern of Metropolitan Police HATE CRIMES started…
2.3.10 She told me that on 30 October 2017, the police and ambulance turned up at her house to section her for a malicious report, that she wrote on Facebook that she was feeling suicidal. She told me that she arranged a meeting with the police at the police station, she wanted her stepson to be present. He was not able to join the meeting, which took place with her alone. The police did not come prepared. One officer said to her, that if she did not calm down, she would be placed in a straight jacket. She told me that she came out of the meeting upset, her stepson arrived later, he was waiting outside. She said that the stepson went back in to speak to the police. She said that whilst waiting outside, a police vehicle pulled up, stating they received a report that someone was misbehaving. According to her, nothing happened further with the police.
