    Self love

    Two thousand or so years ago, youths ran through the streets of Rome clothed as goats and wielding strips of goatskin to celebrate the Lupercalia Fertility Festival – today recognised as Valentine’s Day – the day we celebrate all things love. Rather than offering the traditional Luperci or Capitalist sacrifice, I thought a much more…

    Probably Autistic

    I’ve had to say that phrase quite a lot over the past couple of years. Whilst my son attended nursery school the possibility was raised that he may be on the Autistic Spectrum. He had advanced verbal skills but other traits suggested that he may have ASD. As time progressed it became more evident that…

    Saw this writing challenge and loved the self indulgence! I’m sure there’s a profound moral message to be raised but this post is not it. I’m keeping it vain and shallow because – well catharsis rocks x So probably the biggest misconception about me is that I’m an extravert.. But despite the carnival feathers and…

    Gurl Bye.

    Death of A Girl Boss We may be through the first week of the new year – but I am still going through old draft posts. Considering Molly Mae’s recent deluded ramblings – one in particularly caught my eye. It was written in 2016 and discussed the pressure to (or at least appear) “have it…

    Radical Dreaming This season’s holidays provided the much needed down time to go through my writing note books, incomplete posts and projects. Amongst the sprawls and scribbles I found the half written poem “Radical Dreaming”. After watching Don’t Look Up and with New Years Eve rapidly approaching, I decided to rework the poem into a…

    Anti-Racist School Setting Action Plan I have been very quiet recently, partly due to co-authoring this. This document is a collaboration by teachers, parent activists and community workers to provide a strategy and resources to support schools with their transition to an Anti-Racist school setting. “Education is the strongest weapon we have to change the…

    2020 Vision

    Preface into the post below When I first filed for divorce I sent a group message to all my friends so it was out there. No elephants in the Whats Up groups so to speak. Many of my friends outside my close circle were shocked. “We thought you had the perfect life!?!” I was equally…

    Playing the race card

    In a recent interview the “Head of Britain’s ‘strictest school” claimed that black children were using the ‘race card’ when in trouble. The rhetoric is that of an aging, white, conservative male trying to dismiss the divisive legacy of the British empire but the words belong to a youngish “women of colour” (pictured above). I wonder…

    Votes Count

    Don’t lose your vote Last Sunday I was prevented from voting during a local Parliamentary Candidate vote. After queuing for almost an hour with my son, I was informed I would not be able to leave the hall until the vote had concluded four hours later. 4 hours with a 5 year old and no…

    Retro

    Retrograde State of Mind Mercury Retrogrades have had a bit of a bad rap since their recent reincarnation into modern pop culture. By memes and astrology pages alone, Mercury in Retrograde would be up there with four horseman and the front page of The Daily Mail as something bound to ruin your day. But perhaps…

    It’s hard to find a single person who hasn’t been touched by mental health. Whether a family member, partner or personally, the pressures of modern society are taking a toll on our collective mental health. As part of World Mental Health Awareness day, people have been encouraged to share their experiences of mental health and…

    Jokes Aside

    Surrender To The Madness. Joker review The Joker is a master piece needed for this moment in time. A time when unelected leaders shut down open debates by elected representatives in the name of democracy. A time when protestors fighting to save our planet are imprisoned or attacked whilst the perpetrators of the crimes against…

    Should I stay or Should I go..
    Should I stay or Should I go..

    Every time I’m by the sea, I feel at peace and never want to leave. But something always pulls me back to the big smoke… I love the diversity, activity and randomness of London. I love my friends and family.. I love the ridiculous selection of weaves, wigs and shea butter at my local hair…
