2022

Firstly, what can we say about 2020 and beyond? Change, it’s all about change.

I needed something to challenge be, take me out of my comfort zone and push my to heights where the result can only really be felt when I get there.

With a year that will always lodge in the memory for many reasons I also hope to launch a new solo production, Conversations with Paul Robeson in 2022. This man led a remarkable life and has been a great influence on me as I embarked on learning more about him.

 

Poetry is always in my heart
I still write, sometimes I think not enough but I ‘think poetically’ if that makes sense! 2022 will be no different.

I have continued to explore my poetry and leverage material from Letters to the Lady in different ways. I aim to continue to do this.
