Having worked in industry, it’s natural to learn a thing or two. The Truth About…series usually gives insights into lessons I think artists should be aware of. This special edition is for clients. I got an email that made me smile today. It’s been a particularly intense 48 hours – It’s natural to get like…
I love LinkedIn as a platform. Unlike a lot of the others, it feels relatively untouched by the talk of algorithms, and it’s pretty clear what it’s there for. Whilst there’s been an increase in people posting more personal stories – I can’t count how many have said “I don’t normally post personal stories here”…
Having worked in industry, it’s natural to learn a thing or two. The Truth About…series gives insights into lessons I think artists should be aware of. Every other person dreams of being an author. Of going through that journey of seeing their name in print and the validation that comes with it. It’s a beautiful…
March. May. October. My favourite months of the year. October for Black History Month, May as it’s my birth month and March is a double whammy: my business birthday and International Women’s Month.

So full disclosure, I had a vested interest in this show as one of the producers is a client but I haven’t been so engaged by a programme for a while. I had read a few online reviews where people had said it was slow… SLOW WHERE EXACTLY PLEASE? BECAUSE EVERY EPISODE WAS A SWIFT…
It feels a bit weird saying I liked this. In Krio, there is a saying “me mot full” meaning “my mouth is full” meaning I. Am. Gobsmacked. The story follows women who are swindled out of thousands of pounds by one man, claiming to be a diamond billionaire through the dating app, Tinder I understand…
Every morning I say a little prayer thanking G*d for waking me up. It lasts no more than a couple of seconds as I quickly get distracted with everything I have to do and mentally prepare for the day ahead. Today as I head to bed, my heart is heavy to hear about the passing…
I really love clever, creative advertising and this one is really super smart. Posted by Cannes Lions – a prestigious advertising awards body – on their Instagram, IKEA created an advert that doubled up as a pregnancy test. Pee on it and get a positive result? You get yourself a discount on the crib featured…
