Congratulations!

Last night, a fabulous #erasurepoetry workshop with Jeremy Pak Nelson at Saan1 in Manchester, organised by Fuse, a 'Manchester-based collective uplifting underrepresented (ethnic minority) creatives.'

I had some exciting news today.

War and Peace I’m sure we are all concerned about the various military conflicts raging in the world right now.

War and peace. Check out my latest musings.
