“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.”

Thank you @merisaa_heqama_ for notifying me that my novel, Love Again was on display in Catford library for Black History Month (BHM)
I appreciate it. But such a shame that underrepresented authors are only paraded during BHM when in fact we write all year round.

Enjoying the last few moments of the London summer sun.
I spent a delicious Saturday afternoon with my author-friend, my creative-student and sister-friend, @yogitravelclub Dr Edak, who is spending a few months in the UK ( she lives in Nigeria) to finish her book 📕 and she will be our guest author at our October WILDE Women Book Club. @wilde_foundation
Wish we had taken some pictures together, but the conversations was so delicious, funny and entertaining that I forgot 😂
I’m so looking forward to Dr Edak’s forthcoming book, ‘If Menopause Was A Man.’ I’ve been privy to excerpts and I’m impressed.
@editorschair I’ve recommended you and will be in touch to talk business.

As I listened to these voices, the smile grew bigger on my face and I reached for my laptop and added a chapter to my WIP, such was the inspiration.
They carry the energy of @teshaymakeda_ would love to keep a party featuring these empresses.
Love these renditions. No words needed. No explanation. Listen & enjoy.

Final summer creative writing class today - Your Story, Your Legacy, Memoir & Autobiography Writing.
Many of the writers have signed up for the new term in September, which offers two different classes.
First Steps in Creative Writing and Writing for Well-being.
They thoroughly enjoyed the memoir & autobiography workshops. They chose their theme & defined their purpose.
They want their theme to inspire, inform, motivate, entertain or all four.
They are aware that their story or theme maybe common, it may be similar, but only they can tell it from their own unique perspective.
I enjoyed all their stories and they enjoyed each other’s stories. They shared sadness, challenges, losses and laughter - that’s why I love writers so much, they never fail to amaze me.

Week 3 of my summer writing workshop - Your Story, Your Legacy, Autobiography and Memoir Writing.
The writers range from 30+ to 80+ and their life stories are riveting, filled with humour, sadness, loss, challenges, joy, happiness and many lessons to share and pass on.
The wonderful thing about each and everyone of them is that they remain open to learning, so they are teachable and a total pleasure to be around.
I read an excerpt from @charlenewhite autobiography, No Place Like Home as an example.

Attending @charlenewhite book launch lifted my Sunday.
With @1judilove conducting the interview you know laughter would be on the menu.
I joined the long queue to get my book signed. I’ll be introducing it to my summer writing class, which is titled, Your Legacy, Your Story and is all about autobiography & memoir writing.

@fawcettsociety and @wilde_foundation celebrating the historic IPSO win against the Sun newspaper.
There’s no place in a civilised nation for misogyny and misogynoir. @iknowwhyshestayed
A great evening of standing together against hatred and violence against women and girls.
Special thanks to @wilde_foundation trustee @lazylion698

A year on from our historic win against the Jeremy Clarkson Sun newspaper article, @fawcettsociety and @wilde_foundation celebrated.
We are quite clear that misogyny and misogynoir has no place in a civilised nation, and as a journalist myself, the training I received in university, and then at the BBC goes against all the principles of journalism that I’ve witnessed being played out by mainstream media.
The seriousness of misogynoir and misogyny cannot be underestimated in the increase in violence against women and girls perpetrated by males.
Every man with a mother, auntie, grandmother, sister or daughter should be concerned. Everyone should be concerned.
I am indeed proud of @wilde_foundation partnership with @fawcettsociety in achieving this historic win, which many people in attendance at the celebration said they would like to see celebrated annually.
Thank you for all the congratulations, and I’d especially like to thank @esuantsiwa who stepped in at the last minute on our panel of awesome women speakers, and @mbekewinternational
