    Working with...The Gardens Trust: Social Media Content Consulting

    Yeeeeeeessss!!!! My dream job just hit my inbox!!! The Gardens Trust has been working over the years to share their love and passion for historic gardens with a culturally diverse population. With a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, they set up a series of events called Sharing Repton: Historic Landscapes for All. Attendees at the events – including families from the Somali community as well as other BAME members of the public – enjoyed African drumming and bell

    The WATS Line Website Creation - Fighting Racism with Education

    George Floyd's murder was a pivotal movement for the BAME community in the UK and people of colour across the world. There have been many uprisings and civil rights milestones through the ages; somehow, this time it all feels different. I think it’s because this time people are really becoming aware of how deep-rooted systemic racism really is. They’re waking up to the day-to-day microaggressions people of colour have to face in their everyday lives. I think it also feels dif

    Working with...The Vitiligo Society: Ebook Rewrite

    Have you ever heard the term vitiligo? You may have come across this skin condition but not been aware of its name. Well, vitiligo is a condition whereby the skin loses its pigment cells, resulting in white patches. It was a real pleasure to work with The Vitiligo Society, a charity that does great work supporting people who have vitiligo through all aspects of their journey. I was tasked with rewriting their 18k-word ebook, "The Definitive Guide to Vitiligo". It was a pretty

    3 Easy Ways to Discover Your Own Family History

    I'm not going to lie, the research for the last couple of posts has been pretty intense. So, for this post, I thought I would lighten things up a bit. For years I have been on a mini journey, in search of my past, and today I wanted to share some of my most useful research tools. Let's begin with my top fave website and the best part is.... it’s FREEEEE! 1. FamilySearch.org, Founded in 1894, historically known as the Genealogical Society of Utah, is dedicated to preserving th

    Russian Edition: Abram Petrovich Hannibal

    Bear with me while I let my ignorance show for a moment. Now for me, a black person living in 18th Century Russia simply does not compute. Throw in an African slave that goes on to become the greatest engineer and military man in 18th Century Russia and...mind blown! But, that is the story we have in Abram Petrovich Hannibal, whose name came to me from a friend, who had stumbled upon his story while reading Simon Sebag Montefiore’s Written in History: Letters that Changed the

    The Lost Black Princess: Sarah Forbes Bonetta

    Did you hear the one about the British Queen with an African Goddaughter? Nope? Neither did I. How did a West African slave become protegee to Queen Victoria, one of the most famous British monarchs? Well, to understand, let us wind the story back... for this young lady that we have come to know as Sarah Forbes Bonetta was not originally a slave at all. It was 1843 in the Egbado village of Oke-Odan that a West African princess of the Yoruba people was born to an African chief
