Here is the hub of my thoughts; ideas, experiences, everything and anything. If you have something you’ve been thinking about or something you’d like me to write about, let me know.
Bristol Love
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write about the amazing things that have been happening but it’s been mad busy so I’m letting myself off. To kick off with the most important recap…. ST PAUL’S CARNIVAL!!!! Let me say first and foremost; thank you the residents of St Pauls for letting the […]
Chatting Independent: Fantale Fans
Fantale Fans, born by Creative Director Anna Louise-Taylor, arrived onto the Bristol scene with more than a bit of a flourish earlier this month. With eye-catching designs that beg for an impromptu photoshoot; these fans are more than just a tool to keep the body temperature down, they are a fashion statement. As a raver, I strongly […]
Expectation
Wow, I can’t actually believe the amount of love that came back from that last post – you guys are so awesome. I definitely think my best when I’m away from home (super helpful) in terms of self reflection/growth. I’ve been thinking a lot about Expectation. I hate this word. It is my nemesis. The […]
Committing to a Multi-Hyphen Life
I feel quite emotional today. Partly because it’s the Tuesday after Love Saves The Day and my body is feeling more than a little abused, but mostly because I don’t remember the last time I felt this proud of myself. It feels weird to say. Maybe it’s a woman thing or a British thing that […]
We Have To Be Woke
First published on Bristol 24/7 as new columnist, Friday Feb 23, 2018 “Theresa May, where’s the money for Grenfell? What you thought we just forgot about Grenfell? You criminals, and you got the cheek to call us savages. You should do some jail time, you should pay some damages, we should burn your house down and […]
Reclaiming Space at Boomtown Fair
It’s no secret that I’ve moved and worked in predominantly white spaces since my youth. Growing up as a mixed race child in the middle of rural Wales was not an easy experience; though one that I value due to the immense love I now have for nature, it instilled a feeling of ‘otherness’ in […]
Spreading The ❤️
I don’t think I’ve celebrated the ‘true meaning’ of Valentine’s Day since I was 21. It was my first boyfriend and we did everything right; I cooked a three course meal based around Guinness (his favourite drink), he gave me a Valentine’s card with the sweetest of messages and a bouquet of red roses…which made […]
Those Little Demons…
Be aware of those little inner demons that creep out when you least expect it. They tell you you’re not good enough, not strong enough, not brave enough, not beautiful enough – and they’re wrong. Last week was so hard, though I try my best to look like I’m keeping my shit together and see […]
New Queen Of Silence
New Queen of Silence So I went to go and see a throat and voice specialist yesterday and didn’t get the best news… I was told that I have a nodule on my vocal chords and it’s likely going to need surgery. My voice hasn’t been right for a while but I wasn’t expecting this […]
