A Black British Girl's Perspective of a Global Village
Dia da Consciência Negra... Black Consciousness Day, Brazil It might seem ironic that there should be a day dedicated to black consciousness in Brazil; a country with its history steep in the trans-atlantic slavery between 1594 to 1888 (the last country in the western hemisphere to abolish slavery). The seed of 'black origin' flourishes in... Continue Reading →
I'm not in South Africa. In fact I've never visited (yet). My setting is distinctive and confirms I'm still in London; the traffic from Shaftesbury Avenue, the punters gathered at the pubs, the bright lights of a mainstream theatre on Cambridge circus. I'm in London's West-end to watch "Mother to Mother". A play set in... Continue Reading →

I headed to the setting perfect for a modern-day love story... And the scene in which a modern-day Princess's fairytale ended in sorrow. I grew up... Continue Reading →

As if you haven't already noticed, autumn has well and truly crept in! The streets are paved not with gold, but... Continue Reading →
I usually have mixed emotions about flying home. When the stresses of packing, rushing to arrive at the airport on time, weighing my suitcase (and almost always having to remove something or reorganise), passing through security (if it's not an issue with my liquids or forgetting to remove my belt, there's just got to be...

http://youtu.be/y-BEwBPKJ60 A journey I took thinking I would be helping to save a few children from hunger, but rather I was the one being saved, and my need for spirituality rekindled... This is how I found myself in Haiti! Despite many barriers (the language!) I had a rewarding experience! *Funding for the food program which... Continue Reading →
When I met Dionisis Kostakis on my second day in Rio de Janeiro in December last year, there was little about him, if nothing at all, that indicated his unusual hobby. With beach blond hair and subtly tanned olive skin, I took him to be yet another European who had ditched the struggling economy of... Continue Reading →
