I am a writer, playwright, and journalist with special interest in cultural and social politics.
I was short-listed for the International 15th Windsor Fringe Kenneth Branagh Award for New Drama Writing – 2018: Let Them Eat Cake.

I am a co-author of Sharing the Past, a book that has been collectively authored and edited by members of the Northamptonshire Black History Association (2008). It presents an overview of Northamptonshire’s connections to the wider world, and especially to Africa, the Caribbean and the Indian subcontinent.
From the introduction of Sharing the Past: “This book is about sharing the past for the sake of our shared future.“

As a previous Director of Northamptonshire Black History Association I was involved in the management of the organisation that won a national award from CILIP: Libraries Change Lives (2005).

I worked as a Research Assistant at the Oxford University School of Geography and the Environment where I assisted in the research and publication on a range of aspects of citizenship, cross-cultural fostering and adoption, and refugee migration in East and Central Africa.

My fiction, poetry and scripts have been published in five anthology collections (2018), including two independently published volumes of prose and poetry. I also teach creative writing, and oral history research techniques.

I was a Writer-in-Residence for the Liverpool Independents Biennial Arts Festival (2018), and my work has been displayed at Tate, Liverpool.

I have been published in the Guardian, the Northampton News and Herald, and WordsWords – a University of Northampton literary magazine.

My articles, reviews and essays have been published on Reader’s Digest, gal-dem, red pepper, Black Ballad, Cinema Femme, and in ROOT-ed Zine.
