Taking Stock
I was catching up on some of the blogs I follow and stumbled on a post about taking stock. Given that we’re now half way through the year, instead of my normal creative offering, I thought that I would use the same prompts to form a post. Here goes: Making: A mid-year assessment of my… Continue reading Taking Stock
Slipstream
Sometimes, sandwiched between running my business, day dreaming and writing or editing, I dust off the shackles of stage fright and actually perform some spoken word. In public. With people in the audience. Crazy right? My love affair with words started when I was very young. It’s just how I have always expressed myself (I… Continue reading Slipstream
A Long Weekend in Nigeria
Two weeks ago I took a quick trip to Nigeria. Ridiculous right? Who takes quick trips to Africa unless you’re a business[wo]man? But effectively I was there for a long weekend.

A Message For my Mother
Today is Mothering Sunday in the UK and while I appreciate my mum every day, I decided to dedicate this post to her. She is a phenomenal woman. I admire all that she has achieved in life and I am so proud to call her mine. She's amazing - no hyperbole, and I'm not the… Continue reading A Message For my Mother
Question: Corporate Afrika
Tonight I performed some spoken word at a networking event organised by Corporate Afrika. Their theme for the event was creativity, hence me being booked to perform - just to break up the night a little. I only had a short amount of time in which to share so I chose one of my favourite… Continue reading Question: Corporate Afrika
