I was asked recently why does Caught You in a Lie Matter? Who is it the show for?
I was a little taken aback, I thought everyone would understand who it was for. I thought me keep talking about the show would make it obvious, but I didn’t follow what I tell my business clients, make it obvious, don’t assume people will understand what you mean, make it too obvious for them not to.
Why does Caught You in a Lie matter?
It matters because in an Office of National Statistics report dated November 2024, 2.3 million people aged 16 years and over (1.6 million women and 712,000 men) experienced domestic abuse, the results didn’t show any significant change from the prior year. But one thing to keep in mind is this is cases of reported cases, we don’t know how many cases go unreported, but in my experience in the work that I do and the work that my CIC does, there are far more that are unreported to the police the are reported. According to a report completed by Safeline in England Wales the number of people who experience sexual abuse and assault are:
Women – 1 in 4 have experienced sexual abuse
Men – 1 in 5 have experienced it
Children – 1 in 6 have been victims of sexual abuse
These numbers represent real lives affected by silence, stigma, and unspoken pain many left unseen and unheard. That’s why Caught You in a Lie matters.
Who should go and watch Caught You in a Lie?
It’s for every person who’s ever been silenced, dismissed or deceived. It’s as simple as that. In one way or another victims will experience all of this until they find their voice, and even when you have your voice and you can speak of what you’ve been through you might still be dismissed, or silenced.
Abuse often wears a mask, either charm, control, gaslighting, or all of the above and more. It silences voices, shatters confidence and isolates the soul. In some cases the people you expect to have your back sadly won’t. The people you trust to fight your corner might not. When you most need your community you might be sidelined by them, all of which can make you question yourself, your feelings, am I making more of what happened. If you’ve been there you will understand this and see yourself in this.
🎭CAUGHT YOU IN A LIE aims to breaks that silence and encourage people to start finding THEIR voice, SPEAKING their truth and moving from being a victim to a survivor and then onto thriving. Because if I can, so can you!
This production brings a voice to the voiceless, shedding light on a hidden pain and igniting hope in dark places.
It’s a call to remember:
💜You are not to blame. 💜Although you might feel it you are NOT invisible. 💜You are not alone.
Every performance opens space for truth, healing and real-life transformation.
Whether you’ve lived it, witnessed it or need to understand it, this story matters.
On Friday 20th September, Bedford will host something truly special: the very first performance on this tour of my one-woman musical play, Caught You In A Lie.
This show marks the beginning of a powerful tour, a journey of healing, truth-telling, and music that blends Lovers Rock, Gospel, and Soul to tell a story rooted in lived experience.
Why Bedford?
Starting the tour in Bedford holds deep meaning for me. This town has always carried a strong sense of community and resilience, and I couldn’t think of a better place to begin sharing this story.
Bedford will be the very first audience to experience this version of the play in full, to walk with me through heartbreak and hope, silence and song, pain and freedom.
What Caught You In A Lie Is About
It is my story. And it is the story of many others.
Caught You In A Lie explores the hidden wounds of abuse and trauma. Shares the lies we are forced to live with, along with the silence we carry, and with the shame that was never ours to hold.
It carries another truth: there is healing, along with hope, and also freedom when we find the courage to speak our truth.
Through music and testimony, the show creates space for survivors to feel seen, heard, and affirmed.
An Invitation
If you are in Bedford, or close by, I invite you to join me for this landmark night. Come along and witness the launch of a tour that I pray will bring light into dark places and courage to those still finding their voice.
🎭 Bedford – Friday 20th September The very first stop on the Caught You In A Lie tour.
The Journey Ahead
From Bedford, the tour will continue across the UK with stops in Watford, London, and Luton. Each performance is a chance to break the silence, to hold space for truth, and to celebrate healing together.
No more sweeping stories under the carpet. No more shame. We are speaking out. We are healing. We are free.
This past weekend, Pastor Mario invited me to speak at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Holloway. I shared the service with my dear friend and sister, Diane Johnson, under the powerful theme: “End It Now!” It was an opportunity for me of speaking my truth
The message was clear and powerful: silence, shame, and secrecy must no longer have the final word in our lives.
Speaking My Truth Through Story and Song
During the service, I spoke about my one-woman musical play, Caught You In A Lie. The production draws on my own lived experience and tells the story of the lies and hidden truths that many people carry while living through trauma.
Survivors of domestic abuse, sexual abuse, bereavement, and other hidden pains often face pressure to stay silent. Too many of these stories end up swept under the carpet, leaving us with shame that never belonged to us in the first place.
But here is the truth:
You are not alone.
Your voice matters.
You have a story that deserves to be heard.
When we speak, write, sing, or perform our truth, we break chains.
Healing Through Truth
God does not call His children to live in silence or brokenness. He calls us to healing, wholeness, and freedom. Part of that healing comes when we stand unapologetically in our truth.
I created Caught You In A Lie for this reason — to take audiences on a journey of music, testimony, and storytelling. The show carries both heartbreak and hope, offering space for survivors to see their courage reflected and their healing affirmed.
Join Me on the Journey
I invite you to experience the show for yourself. Together, we will hold space for truth, healing, and freedom.
🎭 Upcoming Tour Dates:
Bedford – 20th September
Watford – 25th October
London – 15th November
Luton – 21st November
If you have carried your story in silence, know this: you are seen, you are loved, and there is hope.
No more sweeping things under the carpet. No more shame. We are speaking out, we are healing, we are free.
Whether spoken, written, sung, or performed, sharing our truth breaks chains.Here’s the link to my full talk at The SDA:
As a domestic abuse case manager, I have spent years witnessing the devastating impact of violence within the home. It is with profound sadness that I reflect on the tragic murders of Juliana Falcon, 48, and her children, Kyle, 16, and Giselle, 13, in Luton last September. These were three “wonderful individuals” whose lives were taken in an act of unimaginable cruelty.
Juliana was described as a “strong, loving mother, always putting others first.” Kyle was “kind and funny,” and Giselle was a “beautiful soul.” Their loss has left an irreplaceable void in the lives of their loved ones and the wider community. In reviewing the court reports, the details are harrowing: not only were their deaths brutal, but they were also premeditated by the person they should have been safest with—their own family member.
The killer, whose name does not deserve repetition, sought fame for his actions.
He planned not only the murders of his mother and siblings but also a mass shooting at a local primary school. Disturbingly, he later disclosed in prison that he had intended to sexually assault his sister. This was not an impulsive act but a carefully plotted attack driven by a deep-seated desire for destruction and notoriety.
In her sentencing, Mrs. Justice Cheema-Grubb acknowledged the horror the victims endured in their final moments, the “anguish of anticipating or hearing the death of others.” And yet, even in their deaths, Juliana, Kyle, and Giselle likely saved lives. Their tragic murders exposed a looming, far more catastrophic event, ensuring that no other families would suffer at the hands of the killer.
The Intersection of Domestic Abuse and Homicide
This case painfully underscores the connection between domestic abuse and family homicide. While not all domestic abuse results in murder, the patterns of coercion, control, and escalating violence can be chillingly predictive. Many who commit family homicide have histories of manipulative, violent, or controlling behavior. It raises crucial questions: Were there warning signs? Did Juliana, Kyle, or Giselle live in fear before that night? Could intervention have changed this outcome?
In many cases, the most dangerous time for victims is when they try to leave or resist control. While we may never fully understand the dynamics in this household, the reality is that domestic abuse often festers in silence. Victims may not recognise the danger they are in, or they may feel trapped by emotional, financial, or psychological barriers.
A Community’s Response
For the family and friends of Juliana, Kyle, and Giselle, there is no solace that can erase their pain. As Ray Prosper, their father, statement in court, “The pain of our loss will never be healed.” His grief is immeasurable, compounded by the incomprehensible reality that his son was responsible. We send condolences for his loses.
As a community, we must do more to recognise and act on the warning signs of domestic abuse before it escalates. If you are worried about someone, speak up. If you are in danger, know that there is help available. No one should feel unsafe in their own home.
Earlier this month, I attended the Million Woman March on International Women’s Day, where we read aloud the names of women & children murdered by family members, ex-partners, and partners. 113 babes were read out including the names of Juliana’s, Kyle & Giselle – Year after year, we remember the victims & call out their names And yet, very little seems to change.
What Can We Learn?
This was not just an act of random violence; it was an act of misogyny and power. The killer wanted to rape his sister. He wanted to kill children. He wanted to be infamous. This is the deadliest manifestation of male violence—and it does not come out of nowhere. We must ask: • Are we recognising the warning signs of extreme misogyny and violent ideation early enough? • Are families given enough support when a loved one shows signs of dangerous behavior? • Are schools, social services, and mental health professionals equipped to intervene in cases where someone expresses violent intentions?
We have had these conversations before. After Sarah Everard, Bibaa Henry, Nicole Smallman, Sabina Nessa, Zara Aleena—we called their names. After the many mothers, daughters, sisters, and boys killed by men in their own homes—we called their names.
And we call them again now: Juliana. Kyle. Giselle.
But calling their names is not enough. Where is the change?
A Call To Action…
The pain felt by the family, the surviving loved ones, and the wider community is immeasurable. As Ray Prosper, the father of all three children, said in his statement : “The pain of our loss will never be healed.” We send prayes & best wishes to the entire family & friends.
Juliana, Kyle, and Giselle should be here today. Their names must not be just another set of names called at a march. They should be a turning point.
We owe them more than just remembrance. We owe them change.
We must demand: • A full Domestic Homicide Review into this case. (Domestic Abuse Related Death Review) • Better early intervention when boys and young men show signs of violent misogyny. • More support for mothers experiencing domestic abuse or coercive control in their homes. • A commitment from the government to take violence against women and girls as seriously as terrorism.
Honouring Their Legacy
Juliana, Kyle, and Giselle deserved long, full lives. Their memories should not be overshadowed by the horror of what happened to them, but rather honored through action. We must continue raising awareness about domestic abuse, ensuring that those at risk receive the support and protection they need. Their deaths must not be in vain. Let’s remember to pray for this grieving family.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, in any shape or form please reach out to local services for support. There is help, and there is hope.
