My love letter to food: from a recovered “fussy eater”
I say "recovered" in this title not for whimsy or to make fun of people who recover from real illnesses or specific eating disorders. I use this word because I do literally feel like I've recovered. Like I went through a time of toxicity; that hurt me and held me back. In that time, I… Continue reading My love letter to food: from a recovered “fussy eater”
Racial Education: Being Uncomfortable, Vulnerability and Allyship
I'm not just talking to white people here. Being an ally is also for other ethnic groups because I, as a Mixed Race (Black Caribbean and White British, Irish) cisgender woman will have no lived experience compared to say an Indian, Hindu man; or a Japanese lesbian; or a Native American Transgender woman etc. etc.… Continue reading Racial Education: Being Uncomfortable, Vulnerability and Allyship

Finding Clarity: Setting Boundaries
Hey guys, welcome back to the Finding Clarity series! Today is a shorter post but a very hard topic to get right: boundaries! I've thought about this for a while and heard YouTubers talk about it and I thought "hey, I need those" but never knew how to do it.

Getting Unstuck: My 2020 Writing Manifesto
My good friend (fellow writer and author) and I have been doing a lot of soul-searching in quarantine. Interestingly, we both had the same mindsets going in: "plenty of time to write, woo!" but each (on our own) have come to new realisations that have set us free... Stop writing to publish... As people who… Continue reading Getting Unstuck: My 2020 Writing Manifesto
