When I’m not talking or reading, I’m writing.
If you’re a newspaper or a magazine and would like an article written, or you’re an organisation or brand that would like to collaborate on a project, there are many areas that excite me! I love to write about things I’m passionate about, where I can research a new subject, learn something new and put something of myself into the process.

Culture
I’m a big fan of reading and writing reviews. Whether it’s reviewing experiences such as; music (live and otherwise) theatre, festivals, restaurants anything that makes my sense tingle! Or trying out new things; books, products, or music-making software!

Hair : hair politics / Rave braid /
Beauty: Nailing It/Fantale fans
Travel

Organised Chaos
My first stint at travel writing began in 2011 when I set up my first blog when traveling around South America by myself as a way to stay in touch with friends and family – A Little Bit of Me – My First Blog
Inclusion and Diversity
Inclusion and diversity is a subject that is close to my heart and is the thread that pulls all my projects and interests together. There are so many ways businesses, organisations, industries, and people can make their spaces more inclusive and diverse; a lot of the time doing something is better than doing nothing.
