So this is happening tonight 8:30pm on BBC Two! What an experience…what an amazing team! #universitychallenge

Most years on Remembrance Day, I take a minute to think about the Chattri Memorial, just outside Brighton and near where I grew up. It's there to honour the Hindu and Sikh soldiers from India who fought in the WW1 trenches and who died of their wounds in Brighton.

There really is nothing like the hottest day of the summer in England…

And this was a pretty cool way to spend a hot summer’s Saturday in London #britishlibrary #jlflondon2025

What a lovely afternoon chairing a session on the complex but fascinating histories gardens and green spaces have around the world at @britishlibrary.bsky.social for the #JLFlondon2025

What a joy to be back presenting BBC Woman’s Hour this morning and the opportunity to speak to all the women (and a man) on the programme!

There really is no better way to start the New Year! Happy New Year 2025!!

In a recent interview on the BBC World Service’s ‘The Conversation,’ I shared my journey and passion for writing romantic fiction centred around African characters. You can catch the full interview

Thank you @datshiane.bsky.social and team

I’ve kept a diary ever since I was 14 - at times not consistently - but it’s been a pretty big mainstay of my life and I now have several books.

So I definitely wanted to record a #BBCTheConversation about this & we just recorded a love and fun filled episode this week, going out in the New Year!

Enjoy the work you do and you’ll never work a day is never more true!

With lovely producer Elena for this episode of #BBCTheConversation on two incredible women from Ukraine and Zimbabwe on their dangerous but lifesaving work. Available on @bbcworldservice.bsky.social & #BBCSounds in the New Year!
