So I have tried and failed to be healthy again. Towards the end of last term at university I made the decision to… Continue reading Water is a poor substitute for chocolate…

Don’t trust a black girl…
Last term I went to a talk titled the "Politics of black hair" by a fabulous new group at my university called 'The Black Women's project'.

So you had a bad day…
I have just come back from a late night jaunt to Tesco on a mission to satisfy my craving for ice-cream.
