Before entering politics, she trained to be a lawyer and was called to the Bar in St Kitts and Nevis in 2012,[1] and is still practicing law.[2]
Political career
Grey-Brookes became General Secretary of the PAM in 2019.[3] In the 2022 general election, she stood as a candidate for East Basseterre/constituency #1 for the PAM,[4] coming second to the SKN Labour Party. In May 2024, following Shawn Richards’ announcement he would step down as leader of PAM, Grey-Brookes launched her candidacy to succeed him as leader.[5][6] In June 2024, she was officially elected as leader of the People’s Action Movement at their 58th National Convention, becoming the party’s 5th leader and the first woman to ever become leader of PAM and of a St Kitts political party.[7][8][9][10][11]
She has indicated she will run again for PAM in the East Basseterre/St Christopher #1 constituency at the next general election.[12]
