What an utterly mad month this has been - to be honest, I feel like I'm in a totally bizarre dream. Tomorrow it would have been a month since I flew to a whirlwind week in Lagos, Nigeria; downloading more into my brain than was actually possible to digest, cramming in...
Identity
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.
Organised Chaos
Feb 29, 2020 | Journal, Travel
Before I came I really thought I was fairly well travelled. I’ve gone travelling alone - backpacked round South America by myself with no Spanish in my vocabulary. Jumped headfirst into new cultures with their music and food and language (where I can) but...
Happy Self Love V Day!
Feb 14, 2020 | Journal
I didn’t think I’d ever get to a place where seeing myself in the mirror with lumps and bumps, scratches and scars wouldn’t make me immediately hide under layers of clothing or jokes. It’s been the LONGEST journey of self-acceptance and one that is ongoing.
Nailing It!
Feb 13, 2020 | Fashion
I've been getting messages asking where I got my current nail varnish from so I thought I’d do a post about my nails! I am the absolute worst at biting my nails - I was a thumb sucker in my youth and then a chubby kiddy and then a non-committal smoker but the point is...
Starting Out Slow
Jan 15, 2020 | Journal
Wow, ok so let’s talk for a second about that last bit of 2019…I’m not gonna lie, it utterly wiped me out. The election was depressing - I don’t feel like many people bounced back from that in time for a full-blown Christmas cheer and Happy New Year… Don’t get me...
Farewell Facebook
Nov 22, 2019 | Journal
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
Oct 10, 2019 | Journal
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 Beginning of Blackbird
Sep 18, 2019 | Inclusion & Diversity, Music
One day to go until #blackbird is in the world... This song has been inside me since I realised at 5 years old that people weren't looking at me the same as they were looking at my mum. The first time in Wales I was asked if opened my banana the way 'people from the...
The Project of Projection
Aug 5, 2019 | Journal
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...
