ABOUT:

I write non-fiction: CNF, narrative non-fiction, personal essays, articles, thought pieces and poetry. I'm interested in mysticism, spirituality, nature, the mundane and everyday, poverty, race and class. I'm inspired by beauty, rage, music, love, nature, the people I love, death and God. I was selected to be on the inaugural HarperCollins Author Academy 2021 and have written for Thought Catalog, Tiny Buddha and Media Diversified. My picture is me as catfish.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
