I need your help!!! We’ve got some stunning merch for Legenda coming up, but can’t decide on the quotes. Which do you think? If you comment and share your choices - A or B - you could win a copy of the book, plus your very own bag and book mark!

The Indie dinner to reveal Legenda was one of the most magical experiences ever. Balliol provided the fantastical setting, I gave a personal tour of Oxford, we manifested legendary women in our readings and ate dishes inspired by Joan of Arc, Marie of Oignies, Lady Godiva and Queen Victoria!

Dear friends and followers. I know I’ve been pretty absent on social media. There’s a good reason I promise. I’ve been involved with such a high profile project I’ve not been able to share. But I feel I’ve neglected you. You’ve always been so good to me. I’ll start drip feeding😜

In ten months I’ve filmed in over 25 countries. I’m knackered. I’m eternally grateful for a) a darling husband b) the internet c) writing deadlines which make long flights good use of time. I work to feed my family, to spread the things I love & to educate in a way that empowers. I need a rest….

Here we go…. You MUST come & see me on tour!! This is an important book. It’s tackling something that matters, not just in terms of our relationship with the past, but also where we are in the present. On your marks. Get set. Go! linktr.ee/JaninaRamirez

Dear lovely wonderful followers! It’s been six months of keeping quiet (which is not my usual state!) and I know I’ve been hiding off the radar. But I’ve got a big announcement tomorrow at 11am and I’d love it if you’d keep a look out…. Sending love x
