Suella Braverman bio and age
Sue-Ellen Cassiana Braverman is a British politician and barrister who was born on April 3, 1980, in Harrow, London. She was born to Indian immigrant parents who both emigrated from different countries, and she is currently 43 years old. Suellaโs father, Christie Fernandes, was from Kenya, while her mother, Uma Fernandes, moved to the UK from Mauritius. Growing up, the family faced some harrowing times when Suella’s father lost his job as an insurance broker. She shared in an interview:
He was unemployed for several years and his sense of identity was shattered. It really broke him as a man. Mum became the backbone of the family, financially and emotionally, and that was a big epiphany for me.” She added: “It struck me when I was 11 that she was killing herself to pay for my education and that felt a massive responsibility on my shoulders.”
Suella Braverman real name
Suella’s real name is Sue-Ellen Cassiana Braverman, and she was named after the fictional character Sue Ellen Ewing from the American soap opera โDallasโ. She once talked about her name, saying:
So my name is actually Sue-Ellen, because my mum was a fan of Dallas and thought this would be a great name for her daughter. I’ve been plagued ever since. But my primary school teachers didn’t like the hyphen. So they came up with Suella on my little tag for my coat and that stuck.โ
Suella Braverman education
During her childhood, Suella attended a private secondary school, which was partly funded by a scholarship. She then attended Cambridge where she studied law and later qualified as a Barrister in 2005.
Religion
Suella is a devout Buddhist as well as a member of the Triratna Buddhist Community.
