Pleased to finally announce this work of my heart! I am grateful for the opportunity to put in writing the gift of heritage, humanhood and storytelling. Thank you @SPCKPublishing and all who have made this possible!
'Where are you from? It's a simple question. One that is very familiar to those who belong to visible ethnic groups in the UK...'

Yesterday evening, I visited the Luanda Science Center's Mosasaur exhibition. The 11-meter reconstruction is a brilliant testament to Angola’s rich natural history and global scientific collaboration, combining fossils from Namibe and the Netherlands.

Inside ANDA’s battery centre, the electric mobility transition becomes tangible. Building local skills, technical expertise and infrastructure is key to creating jobs, sustaining innovation and ensuring Angola captures lasting value from private investments….
É tempo de abraçar e perdoar”-It is time to embrace and forgive. Angola’s Memorial to the Victims of Political Conflicts honours lives lost, acknowledges families’ pain and affirms our shared humanity. Reconciliation means confronting the past, restoring dignity & choosing peace.
Had a productive meeting with Chinese Ambassador Zhang Bin today. Great discussion on China’s valuable partnership with the UN team in Angola. Looking forward to strengthening our collaboration to accelerate #SDGs across the country. #GlobalGoals #SustainableDevelopment #Angola
1/5 Khotso! It has been a while!
Tomorrow, 4 October, the Kingdom of Lesotho celebrates 60 years of independence. 🇱🇸 While officially this is 60 years of independence, I also want to celebrate the spirit of the Basotho I have come to know.
4/5 …speak to a people who have defended not only their land, but their identity.
In all my time in Lesotho, I came to see a people who, despite the forces that have shaped their history, never seemed to have lost their sense of themselves.
É sempre um privilégio encontrar-me com Sua Excelência o Embaixador António, Ministro dos Negócios Estrangeiros. Agradeço a sólida e contínua parceria com a @AngolaOnu.
Binge-watching #GBBO #StandUpToCancer and just wanted to say 🙏🏽. The humour, heart and determination are wonderful. You can laugh, cry and shout at the TV within minutes. Thank you @BritishBakeOff & @SU2CUK. The stories behind the statistics matter. ❤️

“When the moral voices of people enter the room where the rules are being made, the rules change” Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi speaking this morning. A gentle and deep reminder of our humanness and what really matters.
