Back in 2017 I did a festival style review of the 7 festivals I went to that year. This summer I’ve been to some amazing festivals and events, both abroad/in the UK. As summer sadly comes to an end, there is one week that has stood out amongst them. So let’s talk about the craziest…

Is Pride still a protest?
This is a post I have been meaning to write ever since I came back from Brighton Pride a few weeks ago. When I started to write down my ideas I was just about to go on holiday and had only a short time to finish it. However I didn’t want this to be a…
No Stereotypes
Whilst I was sitting with my mum the other day she asked me ‘so what will you do next, now you’ve ran the London Marathon? Will you keep running?’ I sat there puzzled, as since I finished the marathon I’ve sort of just been winging it. Running the London Marathon was one if not the…
Let’s Talk
We live in a world where 1-4 people deal with mental health issues. I made this blog as a way to deal with my own anxiety and panic. Writing things down became a coping mechanism, a sense of release. Which is funny as the last couple of months, I had to take a massive break…
‘Who says you cant? You do’
For someone who has shared blog posts about some of the most intimate details of their life, this is the one that was the one that made me most nervous to write. I never wanted to be one of those people who blog just in the first person and constantly complain. It’s much easier to…
Hackney Takeover
*Originally wrote for the website ELL- East London Lines* When thinking of London’s buzzing nightlife, for people outside of the capital Hackney is probably the last place that would come to mind. Many still see the west end as one of if not the main clubbing area within central London. Well think again, because Hackney nightlife is…
Eating Disorder Awareness Week
Mental Illness is something that unless you have experienced it yourself, can be hard to understand. But we must put ourselves in the other persons shoes, and realise there are battles people are fighting every day. I have friends who have suffered and are still suffering from mental illnesses throughout all their young lives and…
#MeToo
The #MeToo is something that without understanding or context is just another hashtag. This is how sexual assault is still in a way viewed by society .Without the back stories of the victims, the pain behind them lays dormant and it is easy to overlook the whole issue. This is the whole purpose of this…
Girls Uninterrupted
2018 is the year of female power, domination and the fight for equality in the media. I visited a pop up shop that embodies all of these features. ‘Girls Uninterrupted’ was a 6-day installation in Hackney near Shoreditch station. For years there has been a stigma around female nudity and women’s sexuality. 19 artists from…
7 Festivals In 2017
I have been attending festivals since I was 17, but in my opinion nothing tops 2017. In total I went to 7 festivals this year. Lost & found in Malta, We are festival in Upminster, Wildlife festival in Brighton, Hideout festival in Croatia, EE festival at Morden Park, Elrow at the Olympic Park and last…
Passion Over Profit
In life we often go through different phases, different passions and dedicate different parts of our lives to certain dreams we have. I myself have indulged in dancing, swimming throughout my teen years. Media however is something I have decided to pursue further. Below are a few selected images I created at the age of…
