Bryson Tiller Review

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go and see Bryson Tiller perform at KOKO in Camden. It was my first time at the venue, it was a large venue, pretty packed out… Even to the point people were standing on the stairs to watch Bryson Tiller perform  So I caught 2 of the opening acts a young woman and secondly a young man called drey or drew, the sound upstairs was awful could barely hear the…

They love black women

Sooooo walking on the sunny beaches of agadir has become a bit of a chore for me ….. over the last two days…      Mainly because the local men can’t stop trying to talk to me and the thing is they’re not even trying to sell me things… well at one point they’ll try and sell their sun lounge pitch to me but I remind them I’m perfectly content with my towel and I’m closer to the water and the view…

When do you know when you've got your life together? 

When do you know when you’ve got your life together? 

“When you have a job, a car and husband that’s when you’ll know you have your life together” This was said by an Aunty to me last year when I had just decided to leave my job at the daily mail and I had chosen to travel to Ghana for 4 months… ( out of respect Africans call women who are older than them aunties, she wasn’t related lol)  Which was deemed a risk to people who thought I should be at…

What are WE fighting for?

Finally I have some time alone to write…. As I write I’m in my bathroom on holiday dreaming about what I’ll eat  for breakfast it’s 6am British time and all I’ve read on the timelines on Twitter is about protests for not allowing a group of girls into a club in central london because of their colour…. Rascism is STILL alive… But tbh I feel that we led to believe it had been abolished, so that the…

First time out and no vodka :O

So I went out with my bestie in Leicester the other night and I wanted to start my ‘road to recovery’ with Jesus, I’m not an alchi loool But yh I didn’t drink whilst I was out and I saw it is a good step forward, a step closer to Jesus and I know some of you may belittle my achievement. But I know how hard it is for me to dance without alcohol. I drink because I’m terribly shy, beyond belief.…
