Tiny trophy? Giant hand?
I won won Worcester's poetry slam!

The first @worc_artsfest slam with host Aaron Corbett & judges Zakariye Abdillahi, Leena Batchelor & Suz Winspear. Poets bared hearts & funny bones, the audience were solidly on side with all & the panel gave nothing away. Thrilling 👌🏼

My work’s part of the Vagina Museum’s latest exhibition #Menopause: What’s Changed? It explores what’s a fact of life for so many via millennia of silence, the rise & fall of #HRT, booms in a lucrative industry & a burgeoning cultural scene. There’s even armour made from used HRT sachets.

We did it, ducks 🧑🏻‍🎓

I happily poet in both modes. If your gig has a code, please let me know. Don't want to let the vibe down, and I'm equally at home in both scruff and glitter.

I'm a speed reader. A book this length would typically take a lunch break. I re-read each paragraph at least three times, slowly. The widest expanse of human emotions & experiences are presented in nuanced, tangible, grounded language. Stunningly crafted, stunningly 💔 #NeonatalLoss #Grief

I adore the community side of midwifery for many reasons… But a really big one is Everyone’s Pets 🐾

Queer disabled joy, question flips & certified sexy kebab metaphors in an iconic London bookspot. Every sequin & syllable cut through that mid-January funk to blast “Gynandromorph” into the world! Proper memory making that 👌🏼
