The Kiss
Since 2020, I’ve become an avid lister to BBC Radio 5 Live’s broadcaster Dotun Adebayo. Occasionally I listen in to the World Football phone in. Together with Tim Vickery, various guests, and various listeners, they offer a dialogue, a conversation that I am beginning to realise, I have waited decades to hear. This was particularly …
Keeping The Dream Alive
This six part podcast weaves together themes and thought provoking true life events with artistry and intelligence. Each episode is packed with the poignancy of our humanity.

In 2021 I have finally self published the story she wrote about …
No Justice No Peace
Person-Centred Approach and White Privilege Its April 21st 2021. For me it’s a significant day. I am a white woman (she/her) and, today, or probably yesterday taking in time differences, a white man in America who was a policeman, has been convicted of 3 counts of murder and is unlikely to see ‘freedom’ for 40 …
