Journal

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.

Farewell Facebook

Farewell Facebook

We've had or ups, we've had our downs, we've had our memories, we've had our frowns, but I think my time with Facebook is starting to dwindle. I always said that the main reason I use social media is for my work and that is absolutely true so now that my artist page...

Growing with Grief

Growing with Grief

I've been in two minds about whether to share this but it's mental health awareness day and to be honest the last couple of weeks I've not been in a good headspace at all. Strangely it all came to a head yesterday. At the beginning of the month, I looked out the bus...

The Project of Projection

The Project of Projection

There's a weird transition that's been happening in my life at the moment where people have started referring to me as a leader. It's true that I'm not afraid to start things I want to see done...but I've never tried to place myself in a leading role. Don't get me...

Summer Too Soon

Summer Too Soon

It's April and I'm sleeping with my window open. It's April and its 23 degree weather when I look at my phone. It's April and I'm sat at my computer in a strap dress looking outside at the beaming sunshine getting excited for festival season...and it's too soon. I...

Festival Responsibility

Festival Responsibility

As festival season draws closer, I’m forced to ask - which ones are actually taking responsibility? Some of you may or may not have seen the recent call-out from Stormzy to Snowbombing Festival. Calling out the festival on Instagram Stories, Stormzy alleged that his...

It’s ok to not be ok

It’s ok to not be ok

I’m absolutely gutted to say that I won’t be able to attend Boomtown Fair to open the Poco Loco stage at Chapter 10 this year due to unforeseen circumstances. I’ve been looking forward to this show all year and I feel like opening that stage, my favourite of all, has been something I’ve worked towards for years. […]

RIP Aretha Franklin, Never Forgotten

RIP Aretha Franklin, Never Forgotten

The Queen has left us, Miss Aretha Franklin. Aretha you did so much for me you’ll never know. You showed me what it was to be black and proud growing up in a tiny town with not another brown face in sight. You taught me to sing You taught me RESPECT You taught me how […]

Committing to a Multi-Hyphen Life

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 […]

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 […]
