As my mentor said to me “it’s always good to know you did a bit of good in the world.” So if you’re reading this - keep doing your bit of good. You never know who needs it or when it will come back to you.

This is the Ukumarí bag, a project inspired by a dream about my dad and my grandparents.

You almost got my name!

Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you:
Ruth
It was actually my name for several hours until mum decided to change it as it didn't suit me.

Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you:
Fleur
Apparently my father was having none of it. Left to my own devices I'd probably choose Marianne which isn't without precedent, as my great-grandmother was Mary Anne

Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you:
Wilfred. It’s why I use it.
Although I do joke sometimes that I’m named for my *mum’s* favourite gay WWI poet, if I were named for my *dad’s* it would be Siegfried.

Thank you. I've heard nothing so going to take that as it's ok.

Thank you. It's so tough isn't it because you second guess everything because it's not natural. Good luck - let me know if you find things that work!

Right there with you. Having slept in it, I think the direct approach was ok. I guess I'll find out today 😬

It's a line that needed to be drawn. I'm so unused to being assertive, I wonder if I was a bit harsh in how I delivered it. Fortunately I have good relationships so fingers crossed 🤞
