A Black British Girl's Perspective of a Global Village
Earlier this year when I booked my trip to Palermo, the bustling capital of the Italian island Sicily, I opted for the cheapest deal which just happened to included 7-hour stop over in Verona. Would this be a value for money trip visiting two parts of a country on one flight ticket, or would I... Continue Reading →
So I took my own advice and found myself heading to Stanstead airport last Saturday to czech-in for a flight to the Czech Republic... And no, it wasn't to Prague this time.
Every year my best friend Kinho from Brazil flies to London for a work conference, then takes the opportunity to stay an extra few days with me in Soho. When it comes to recommending places to eat, I have to admit I'm not the most experimental (something I'm on a mission to change), I tend to... Continue Reading →

I've had the idea for a while to create a webseries/vlog about my travel experiences... And even though I... Continue Reading →

And it was the latter of these properties that resonated with me when I escaped the tourist sites (which ironically, I became a sight for the locals and tourists fixated on a black girl wandering around...

Fred Kuwornu has started a movement, perhaps without even intending to. But then again, that's to be expected of the Italian-Ghanaian filmmaker and activist whose films 18 IUS SOLI and Inside Buffalo, examine issues of race, ethnicity, and national identity in Italy's contemporary multi-cultural setting.
