I was about 12/13 the first time I watched New Jack City. I was, for sure, way to young. I loved it. It was like watching how things were in my area amplified by 100. I remember watching it once and saying to the people with me “Imagine life was like that”. Little did I…
Bianca Boyce and Me- Laying Foundations.
I am in transition. If I was a website and you clicked on me, a page would come up saying “Under construction”. Or, if you want to be more romantic about it, I’m in a chrysalis, transforming into something amazing. The fact that I even recognise that is massive for me. It means that its…
I left broken and returned grown. My journey home.
I went home today. My real home. SW London. More than that…I went to the flat that I grew up in. The flat where my son took his first breath, and my mum took her last. The walls of that place have seen and felt every emotion I can think of. And I have been…
Your Daughter is Autistic
It’s been just over a week but only now I am able to take it in and write about it. I always imagined that when it happened, I would be writing this blog instantly, shouting it from the rooftops. But it hit deeper than that. Harder. Do you know how many people have not believed…

14th September 2021 18:30-20:30 BST What happens when 3 friends get together and say, “This has to stop”? Well apart from a lot of swearing and cussing, great things start to manifest. Myself, Fiona Broadfoot and Gemma Aitchison are a force to be reckoned with in terms of violence against women and girls. They say…
Racists do not speak for me.
I have written…. deleted and then rewritten this blog several times. This happens when I am writing a blog and I can’t control my language, or my point is not clear. It does not happen often. There is no place for racism in our society. We all have a duty to call out racism when…
“Sometimes the person you are willing to take the bullet for is the one who pulls the trigger”
I read this book some days called “The language of Letting Go: Daily meditations on co-dependency”. Each page has a date, you find that date and then read the mediation for that day. I have been using it for 6 years. Just pick it up when needed. I realised years ago that I could be…
The Frost Report ….The Famous 4
The 4 of us are interconnected in so many different ways that it is mad to think that this is the first time we have all been in the same space. Jumpin Jack Frost, Sheldon Thomas, and Junior Smart and myself have all come together to get our voices out there. We met on the…
