This morning my first op-ed for PR Week was published. What started as a innocuous comment on a post about the latest single from Stormzy turned into an opportunity to present in one of the biggest publications in my industry. Ironically that’s a testament to what Stormzy’s first single in three years, Mel Made Me…
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. This year feels kinda heavy though. Normally it’s all empowerment talks. Overcoming adversity. Advocating for whatever the theme of the year is…
I went to see a film recently called Finding Sherpas.

I love a vision board. It’s my favourite thing to do leading up to the new year and it’s usually filled with visual representations of what I wish for myself, words, phrases and pixtures to inspire me. Vision boards serve two purposes for me: That process of thinking about what you want, going to find…
It’s three weeks into the New Year and in those three weeks I’ve said no to various projects. One because I’ve learnt if I don’t agree with or understand why something is being done, it undermines my belief in the work and that never ends well. A second because I began to see signs of…
I have written many a blog post in my time and as I looked through the notes section on my phone, I discovered a series of blog posts drafted including this one written on 08/08/2018. What is so interesting to me about it as how it ministered to me four years on, how much I…
