ABOUT
A movement, not just a platform
Make Yourself Heard exists to turn lived experience into action.
It’s a space for anyone who has ever felt silenced, dismissed, or overlooked - and a call to speak, challenge, and shift what isn’t working. At its core, M.Y.H uses art, culture, and storytelling to challenge injustice, question systems, and push for change.
Founded by Jade Blue
M.Y.H was founded by Jade Blue, a rape survivor and campaigner working to reform the justice system. After her case was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service, Jade waived her anonymity to speak publicly about what went wrong - exposing the gaps, delays, and decisions that shaped her experience. In 2024, she secured a landmark legal victory against the CPS for breaching her human rights. That moment wasn’t an ending. It was a shift - from experience to action.
What M.Y.H is here to do
M.Y.H brings together information, insight, and lived experience in one place.
It exists to:
make the system easier to understand
highlight where it falls short
and create space for voices that are too often left out
This is about visibility - and accountability. Because what’s named can be challenged. And what’s challenged can change.
WHAT YOU’LL FIND
M.Y.H x Noticeboard
Real-time updates, resources, and signposting.
From campaigns and consultations to support services and legal guidance - this is where you’ll find what’s happening, and what matters.
M.Y.H x Know Your Rights
Your rights, explained - clearly and without the jargon.
This is where we break down how the justice system works in practice, from complaint processes to what you can do when something doesn’t feel right. Because understanding your rights shouldn’t be a barrier in itself.
M.Y.H x Journal
Lived experience, reflection, and commentary. Led by Jade Blue, alongside guest voices, the Journal explores justice, gender-based violence, and the realities behind the headlines - with honesty, clarity, and purpose.
M.Y.H x Art
Creative work that challenges and questions. Art here isn’t decorative - it’s deliberate. A way to explore harm, hold space, and confront the systems that enable it.
M.Y.H x Music
Connection through sound. A curated space for energy, release, and shared experience - because not everything has to be explained to be felt.
M.Y.H x campaigns
Where change is pushed forward. This is where lived experience becomes action.
The first campaign, Right to Be Reviewed, calls for the CPS Victims’ Right to Review pilot to be made permanent so that cases are not closed without challenge, and survivors are not shut out of the process.
