Harry & Meghan | Two People Fell In Love, And We All Showed Up.
I love LOVE, I’m a huge sucker for it and in my stories, happily ever after is the theme. The world is shitty enough and in no need of more darkness, so I choose love. From the moment the world got wind of their courtship to the wedding, the union of Prince Harry and Meghan…

Starbucks | Black Faces In White Spaces
At 4:35 p.m on the 12th of April, Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson walked into Starbucks in Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia, to wait for a mate with whom they were meeting. They’d asked the manager to use the bathroom, but were denied so they waited for their mate to turn up. At 4:37 p.m the…

An Audience With Spike Lee

GRENFELL
I lived in a tower block much like Grenfell Tower when I first came to London, with my mom and sister, and several relatives coming and going. It was a squeeze at times but we lived there for over a decade in Kilburn, a half hour from Grenfell Tower by bus. If I looked out…
