It turned out that The Jam Box was destined to only have a short lifetime. But it was fun while it lasted! I enjoyed making radio and hope to be back on your airwaves sometime soon, but for now am focussing on other creative projects as part of my ACE funded development time. Each episode… Continue reading The Jam Box: Episodes 1-5

After getting stuck into the Psychology of Racism article, Sarah from Future Bookazines got back in touch and asked if I'd be interested in writing another article - this time, about adult play. I didn't take much persuading! As anyone that knows me is aware, I'm pretty silly and a big kid in many ways.… Continue reading Psychology Now 3: Why Don’t We Play More?

Earlier this year, The Great Outdoors magazine teamed up with Black Girls Hike to run a writing competition. I was thrilled to be chosen as one of the winners :)
Hope & Laundry is a zine about searching for change in the laundrettes of Brighton & Hove. It’s about following fear to find hope. Born out of connections made with dozens of customers and laundrette workers, Hope & Laundry is inspired by different conversations and encounters around, and about, the city’s laundrettes.
I'm so excited to be one of six socially engaged artists working on QDT Laundrette - a project produced by Arts organisation, Quiet Down There CIC.
My contribution to the project will take a writing focus and I'm really looking forward to engaging with local Brighton laundrette staff and customers and seeing what stories arise or what poetry appears...
