Short Film “The Waiting Room”

October
“The Waiting Room” is an rKive Production, written and directed by the wonderful and inspiring Monica Dee. I play the character of “Matron” – a strong and controlling African woman – so much fun. “The Waiting Room is “a short story that is driven by flash backs connected to the present day. A young women meets a […]

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it […]

It’s been a bitsy “what’s happening now?” week. Our short film “Silent Disco” unfortunately didn’t make the shortlist for the Virgin Media Shorts and I had some auditions cancelled due to re-scheduled filming dates. On more active news, the new school term at Morley College has started so my tap and ballet lessons begin again. […]

Steven Berkoff (actor, director, playwright and author) recently said “Facebook and Twitter are like a horrible digital plague” but his new play “Religion and Anarchy” at the Jermyn Street Theatre will be shared, […]

Blesséd blessed – here we go again?

As the week progresses my thoughts are with Syria. Facebook posts look like this: “Here we go again”, “fighting other people’s war” and “how can we stand and watch?” We are on the verge of action and the end of the week will reveal all as the British draft UN resolution authorising “necessary measures” to […]

Family – when it goes right, it’s amazing. I had family visiting from Ghana this weekend. My cousin and his kids and my brother came over too. Party at my house! We made homemade pizzas, ate sweet ginger cake and lots of ice cream. The week then went on to be quite heavy as far […]
Bikes Bags and Being Alive

July
I’ve spent the weekend at the Orbital Brompton Bike Festival. This included watching the Brompton Bike World Champion Race – random, yes, but what an awesome weekend! The reason I was there was to help my friend sell her fashion cycling bags for her company, the Michaux Club. We camped over night and sold bags […]
Stage Day

What a day. I’ve been part of a round-table discussion on casting led by John Byrne (Careers Advisor at The Stage: the Entertainment Industry’s leading newspaper). Along with four other actors of varying experience we shared thoughts and knowledge about what really happens on the ground in trying to make a living in the acting […]
