“It’s difficult to classify myself solely as a writer of romance, when in fact writing about women’s lives, and the complexities that has gone into making her that woman, entails a great deal more than romance.”

The Macbeth Writing Tribe had their last class of the year today . . . And in their true style, it was fun, filled with camaraderie, laughter 😂 stories, exchanging presents, and they did some reflective writing too.
I would take this creative tribe with me everywhere if I could. I’m never short of a story, of laughter and stimulating and inspiring conversations.
One of the prompts I gave them: What do you listen to in the quiet part of you?
One of the writer’s answer: When am I ever quiet 😂🤣😂

Feeling good . . .
Meet my writing tribes - their creativity knows no boundaries. #mytribe❤
As I watch the Macbeth Writing Tribe and the Irish Centre Writing Tribe tackle the writing prompts I give them, I feel good 😊 and I’m left inspired at how they step up to the page and produce thought-provoking prose, narratives, poetry and even quotes and affirmations.
We tackled 3am thoughts in the Writing for Well-being session and early childhood memories in the Autobiography & Memoir Writing session.
I’m never left disappointed because most of the time these emerging writers step up to the challenge.

Can’t wait to see their works in an anthology
Make your world a beautiful place to be.
Every Saturday, a tribe of creative women meet online from 10:30am - 12:30pm.
To be perfectly honest, we not only write ✍🏽 We banter, we socialise, we laugh 😂 😆 😂 😂 a lot, and share our week’s event in the form of our rose, our buds and our thorns, an idea given to me by one of my students at the Macbeth Adult Education Centre.
Our Roses: what has been good and beautiful in our week?
Our Buds: what could have been better?
Our Thorns: low points, the prickly parts of the week.
It is one of the highlights of my week, which I look forward to.
To find out more and how you can join us - drop a message in my DM and I’ll get back to you.

I’m proud of these budding writers, the Macbeth Adult Education Centre Writing Tribe.
They produce excellent pieces of works to the weekly prompts I give them.
One of the prompts today was ‘The memories in me’ and they took me on their journeys, rich in descriptions, humour, emotions and metaphors.
I’ve been privileged to watch and be present in their creative growth and literary development. I’m pushing for the education centre to host an exhibition of their writings, they so deserve it.

This is how @wilde_foundation and @hfwritersfest do it.
Yes, peeps, I was invited as the Co-founder of WILDE Hammersmith & Fulham Writers’ Festival to the University of West London’s CLBS Enterprise Expo.
I went along and met other innovative folks who run their own businesses, organisations & charities.
We were all interviewed by the business students, staffs, and judges (I was unaware that we were all being judged) who stopped by every stand for a banter about what we do.
I was totally shocked, surprised and eventually ecstatic to be awarded the overall winner of the business prize
for @wilde_foundation @hfwritersfest 🥇 🏆
Big thanks to @uniwestlondon for recognising our sweat, tears 😭 and joy 🥲

Bring on the good times.
I’ve been doing this lately, having Friday evening vibes on a Tuesday evening and messing up my awareness of the week days 🤣🤣🤣
It was truly a wonderful evening spent with some of my writing tribe ✍🏾 ✍🏻✍🏽 great company, stimulating conversations, good vibes, laughter and the food wasn’t bad.
We got the chance to dine with @yogitravelclub Dr Edak who has been in London (she lives in Nigeria) writing her book, ‘If Menopause Was A Man.’
We can’t wait to read it.

Big thank you to the awesome authors, @esuantsiwa and @olaawonubi for making Black History Month at the Macbeth Adult Education Centre so special.
The budding writers enjoyed you sharing your author journeys, answering their questions, signing copies of your books and taking time to mingle with them.
Special thanks to @kari_that_thought & @gentlejoan for reading your creative pieces, so proud of you both.
Thank you @alss_online for making this possible.

Let me take you to a place you want to go . . .
Macbeth Adult Education Centre is the place to be surrounded by creative energies.
These budding writers all have their creative goals in sight.
It’s all about completing a novel, a short story, a memoir or autobiography - and a few are working on a screenplay and we even have bloggers & future podcasters.
It’s great hanging out with this tribe. It’s a good life.

A great Friday afternoon spent in the company of community & business leaders.
A great event hosted by @mamahavenuk where vegan and vegetarian lunch was provided in the quaint and intimate @awaken_london which boast an alternative wellness & retail space in the heart of Brook Green in West London.
The food is prepared by an alchemist, vegan & vegetarian with organic vegetables, seed oil free made to nourish body mind & soul.
The goody bag held some of my favourites, especially the sleep roller ball, which my insomnia is looking forward to try.
Great meeting @missninamalone @shineon_london @flowhappycic and the other amazing leaders - looking forward to more of these gatherings.

I have to take my hat off to my Macbeth writing tribe.
They always step up to the page and produce amazing pieces of writing from the prompts I give them.
What kind of letter would you write to your mother from your unborn self?
@tinatalkstooloud wrote such a heart-wrenching, heart-stirring, heart-quaking, heartbreaking letter, I can’t wait for her to share it on her her future podcast in waiting.
I am amazed by the creativity and the enthusiasm all my students tackle the weekly prompts with.
Life is beautiful with these creative stars 🌟 ✨ ⭐️
Keep it up, @moesullivan.ms @kari_that_thought @gentlejoan @mud.and.stars and all the writers who are not on IG.

Taking a break from writing.
An evening out on a Tuesday makes it feels like a Friday vibe. Does anyone feel like this?
Hanging out at @londonkindred with @sharontomlin_nhau @sociallycuriousagency @wilde_foundation @hfwritersfest
