I’M RUNNING A RACE FOR LIFE!

I repeat: I am running a race for life!
I am here to ask you to donate and also sign up to do one (but mostly ask for your donations)

I have spoken a touch about my personal experiences with some of those closest to me being diagnosed with cancer and whilst I definitely decided to do this run for my loved ones who have fallen, beaten or are currently battling with cancer I have no plans to share…

THE REVIEW: My Sister The Serial Killer

First of all I have never read a book that has a character with my name so for that reason this is a winner and I really need to read more Yoruba fiction.
There are many more reasons why My Sister The Serial Killer is an excellent book but being able to A. Relate and even further B. IDENTIFY with characters in a novel is a pretty new experience for me.
This isn’t me saying that every book up until…

My first live TV (facebook) show wasn’t exactly me dipping my toe/ easing in/ something small before we tackle the big jobs


I dont know if it is obvious from the pictures but hosted the live stream for the British Independent Film awards with Jim Chapman and when I say it was hilariously busy know that I am being serious. Running around chatting to the stars, bugging the bartends and begging the waiters for food. I love my job.

By the time I get this post up the live stream may have lost its lure (you CAN watch the entire show here if you fancy) But I have popped a little highlight reel below, enjoy x

A Kick-Ass Blog Followed By A List Of Shows That Ended Better Than Game Of Thrones…

During its last two seasons I felt like I was being held hostage by what was supposed to be the greatest show that has ever graced our screens. Did you feel like that too? If the answer is yes then I am sad for you but also happy that I am not alone.
But there were lessons to learn from the shambolic shambolicy that was the GoT “finale” and season 8 in general. I don’t mean the “beauty in the…

THE REVIEW: If Cats Disappeared From The World

Imagine you have just been diagnosed with an incurable disease and you have hardly any time left on this here planet. You arrive home and see the devil himself sitting on your sofa. Don’t ask me how you know it is the devil, forget about whether or not you even believe in the devil. He is there, petting your cat and beckoning you to join him.

That is where this story beings. And you will (I hope)…

Maybe We Should Change The Name

Of Love Island. We should change it to what it really is; hot people getting off with each-other and then ultimately becoming brand ambassadors and Instagram stars Island. Ok I admit it hasn’t got the same ring to it as its current title but at least it will be what it says on the tin.
I would like to make it clear that yes I am a fan, you don’t need to search through my old tweets, screen shot em…
