Attempted Murder Survivor & Author

Natalie Queiroz MBE – Survivor of one of the most horrific attempted domestic homicides seen in the UK. International author of her self-written memoir, ‘Still Standing’, and MBE holder for Services to Young People and the Prevention of Knife Crime. Natalie is Founding Director of her not-for-profit company - i2QB CIC - focussed on overcoming youth violence, alongside running her motivational speaking company, Natalie Q Inspire Ltd.

In 2016, Natalie’s seemingly safe and secure life came crashing down without warning when 8-month pregnant Natalie found herself fighting for her life in the street one Friday afternoon, as a heavily disguised man wielding a 12-inch carving knife stabbed her 24 times. Later Natalie discovered that the attacker was in fact her partner, a man she had known since their school days and a man she lived with and was about to bring their daughter into the world. A man who hatched and carried out a cold calculated premeditated murder plan, which thankfully by some miracle failed. It hit national headlines.

Against all medical odds Natalie and her baby survived, but not without life-changing injuries. Determined to know the truth about why her partner had carried out this murderous plan, Natalie sought to uncover his lies and motivations, including facing him in prison along the way.
