Thanks for stopping by this is where I post on all that I find interesting.
I’ve begun creating my solo theatre piece So far, I’ve called it “Connie Speaks”. My first character is based on one of my grandmothers in Ghana. She is a strong woman who I don’t actually know that well. I didn’t grow up with her and we are not close in proximity or in spirit, unfortunately. […]
On Monday 6th October 2014 at The LOST Theatre in Vauxhall… I’ll be performing Adult Child/Dead Child by Claire Dowie with six other artists including Claire Dowie herself, Deidre Strath, Lola Kotey, Martin Stuart and Tania Rodrigues. As its title suggests, this play is intense. But it’s also full of strength and lightness. Adult Child/Dead […]
Creating my own theatre work for solo performance is intense, random and liberating. The Lost Theatre in Vauxhall is giving me a stage to do it on.

My brother will be closing his eyes and turning away from the screen – I have been kissing again in my films and he hates it, poor boy. My last short film “Mama’s Boy” in which I play the girlfriend of the lead is now complete, mwah. On the back of this, I’m doing my first […]
“Mama’s Boy” is a ThreadHouse Production. It is a story written by Jane Lowe (who also produced the film). The director was Zohaib Ali. I featured me as the girlfriend, “Tanesha”. The film is an urban drama about a young guy, Michael, stuck in a depressing life cycle of violence and gang culture, trying to […]
On returning home after crying through watching 12 Years A Slave, I’m in the mood for proclaiming my freedom. I’ve been busy. I’m shooting my first feature film in February, I’ve had great auditions since the year began and I’ve met some brilliant casting directors. I’m off to Switzerland on the weekend to spend a […]
