Creative Writing. Coaching. Facilitation.
I’m a writer and artist with a lifelong love of storytelling – rooted in African heritage and shaped by a journey of learning, creating and sharing.
My work is grounded in creativity, care and a commitment to community. This is my space to share the exciting projects I’m working on – and the stories still to come.

About
I embrace my journey – it is an act of gathering and learning in continuum – as Mother, Grandmother and active participant in life. All of my work falls into four areas: Storytelling both orally and through writing; work with and for young people and facilitating self-learning for myself and others.
Upcoming
She’s Home
This memoir is the first book of a trilogy, a composite novel of ten chapters told through the lens of a girl’s discordant journey, living in a series of houses that she is either travelling to or from.
It provides an insight into how fragile life was and is for African immigrants in the UK.
