Thanks for stopping by this is where I post on all that I find interesting.
It’s been a few weeks since my performance in Claire Dowie’s “Adult Child Dead Child” at The LOST Theatre as part of the 3rd Face to Face Festival of Solo Theatre. Colin Watkeys has put together a company of actors, which includes me. We’re performing alongside Claire, inspired by her energy and then trying to […]
Eve, the evil tempter, the reason for man’s expulsion from the garden of Eden. Misunderstood and vilified – I’ve been given a chance to present a brighter side of the Adam and Eve story in a play called “Adam’s eve” by Simon David. This play is quirky and quite complicated but it has positivity as […]

Father-daughter relationships are complicated. I hate it when they are introduced in films but never really explored and ultimately neglected. I watched two films last month with father-daughter relationships. One was “Belle”, the other was “Begin Again”. The young women (Belle, played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Violet, played by Hailee Steinfeld) are treated very differently […]
I was born in London, Battersea. Before moving to Kent I went to nursery and primary school in Soho where we celebrated every nationality and every religion in the world. I love my city – full of diversity and originality – everyone can belong here. Being a model for Bethnals, a jeans brand with the […]
For the past couple of months my Equity union activities have been taken to another level through engagement with Act For Change – a campaign to raise awareness and effect change in the TV industry. The Act For Change project was begun by actor Danny Lee Wynter who was shocked by the lack of diversity […]
