Received in my mail with a prepaid envelope. Words to Welsh voters from an English grifter with far right funders (well, the man will take money from anyone who can pay, to be fair) who uses people's fears to get them further scammed (Brexit).

Understated and beautiful. Built in 1684, it's one of Christopher Wren's superb body of work. It's also home to loving people, serving many including those who are homeless. It's led by the amazing Rector Lucy Winkett.

London last night at St James Piccadilly Church: opening of Namibian artist Tuli Mekondjo's striking exhibition. On until 12 November 2025. Huge congrats to the artist and those who made it happen (special note to Reverend Dr Ayla Lepine). St James Piccadilly is my favourite in London.

Just found out this is appening today (5 October) in Bristol. This Black mum from Wales, will be sick with worry. 'Anti-inmigration' is code for anti Black and Brown and those wearing the hijab if you didn't know. Thanking Claire, people and places like The Watershed for offering shelter. 🙏🏾

Incredible 1st ever Black Welsh Music Awards at The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. Co-founders: amazing artist Ify & Prof. Uzo Iwobi. Lovely moment with Dr Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason & Levi Roots. I even got to present the award for best music video! Party still on but these mature legs are done 😂

Also a wonderful opportunity to catch up with other judges, enjoy Hachette's rooftop garden and view AND my opportunity here to recommend the fabulous Paula Akpan's first book *When We Ruled*. It's amazing!

It is about resilience, loss, memory, enslavement and the exploitation of young girls known as Mui Tsai. It's extremely well researched and it's about reconstructing what her grandmother 's life was like and how herself ended up in the UK.

London, last night at Mo Siewcharran Prize. A privilege to be a judge for this fantastic prize. it's for non-published authors. The publisher selects 10 stories, then we shortlist them. 1 workshop that then helps authors develop the application for the prize and the winner is introduced to an agent.

Well, last night a brilliant woman's work was celebrated, amongst other scientists (but the only woman ...), and that filled me with joy. Final point, hearing Masud Husain talk about his book was mind-blowing (pun intended). I have already ordered it.

Her book is about extinction from a history of science, empire and race viewpoints. So, for that kind of books to be selected and then be shortlisted for the prize is extremely rare. She didn't win last night but another amazing author, the neurologist and neuroscientist Masud Husain did.
