Stacey Dooley

Available for over a year

Stacey meets Shelly, self-titled as 'Hijabi Cabbie' on social media, who says she's the only female, Muslim black cab driver in Corby. As they go for a drive, glam mum-of-five Shelly explains why she wanted to move into the business, and why she's defying convention for a Bangladeshi woman and why she’s made it her mission to keep local young women safe at night. Stacey also meets Shelly's daughter Ria, who is taking her driving test so that she can one day follow in her Mum's tyre tracks! ==================== Credits: Presenter: Stacey Dooley Producers: Blanca Muñoz, Francesca Bent Executive producer: Natasha Johansson Social videos: Maia Lowerson This has been a Little Dooley production for BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds.
