In order to commemorate UK Black History Month, I’m going to spend the next few blog posts talking about ethnicity and blackness. If you don’t wanna read about it then.. um… see you in November I guess? Anyway this post is sort of in response to a video I saw on Chescaleigh’s Facebook page (if you…

In order to commemorate UK Black History Month, I’m going to spend the next few blog posts talking about ethnicity and blackness. If you don’t wanna read about it then.. um… see you in November I guess? So today I’m gonna tell you about Mary Seacole, or Badass Mary as I’ve named her in my…

Did I ever tell you that I went to Japan for a year? Given that information, do I need to let you know that I am a massive nerd with an anime addiction? My weeaboo life started early and I have to admit, being an adult makes it a little harder to keep up that…

Author’s Note: This was first written in September 2016, so it’s been sitting in my drafts for 4 years, but I’m gonna post it because I find me hilarious. Enjoy! The other day I heard a song that really speaks to me. NSFW for language, but here’s all you need to know from it if…

So I’ve been preoccupied these past few days, but I have to alert you of something that I’ve noticed over the past two weeks. Guys. Superheroes are real. I’ve been watching the Olympics these past few weeks (while battling a serious case of writers block) and this is the only way I can rationalise the…

I have the worst writer’s block right now. It’s not like I don’t have any idea as to what to write about, I’ve got loads of ideas. I’m neck-deep in ideas. Ideas are pouring out of my ears. Just… y’know, they’re not pouring onto the page. I… I’ve tried everything. I have immersed myself into…

I always find it weird when people go on about black women’s “obsession” with their hair. For one thing, you’d be pretty attached to something that could easily take ten hours to complete. Some people are obsessed with football and that only takes, what 90minutes per match? I often cannot leave my house because it’s Wash Day…

Despite my years of being an HCA, I’ve never been on a general paediatric ward until I started this course. Someday I’ll go into the weird and wonderful experiences I had when I worked in a paediatric hospital, but today I’m gonna talk about my experience in a “normal” children’s ward. You may think…
