I am driven to disrupt the status quo by writing fresh perspectives that highlight the unknown.
Debut Co-writer
I am the co-writer of Alison Hammonds’ debut romance novel, Bombshell. It was a different kind of journey, but one I was happy to embark on with this fabulous, funny, and talented woman.
Debut Novel
Symona’s Still Single is my debut Novel published by Jacaranda books, which will be released in September 2020. I am part of the #Twentyin2020 cohort, an initiative in partnership with Foyle’s and Words of Colour, to increase the voices of Black Writers.
FT Weekend

Headline: ‘It all feels a bit familiar’: Black Britons show solidarity with Meghan Markle.’
Porter Magazine
Commissioned to write Five things I learned about Love and Romance in Lockdown.

The Self-Care Toolkit
How often do we add greater self-care into our goals? This little booklet from a Black gaze, is a reminder of how important self-care is and how easy it is to carve in to our daily lives.
Deeper Than Twitter
Deeper than Twitter is the name of my award nominated blog that I wrote from 2009 -2015. I intertwined my knowledge in psychotherapy to further help understand the raised issue, to reveal the more serious undertones and possible solutions.
