I am a Generation-Z blogger who wants to keep asking questions to try and make some sense of the world in a small way.
This blog started as a place for me to document my year abroad from Bristol to Boston. I then returned – Boston to Bristol – but decided to keep writing, encouraged by friends in America. What begun as a means for me to keep in touch with friends and family has now, quite accidentally, evolved into a place where I can articulate my views on the world.
I have discovered that I truly enjoy putting my thoughts into coherent sentences and sharing with whoever fancies reading them, and so past Boston and past Bristol student lilfe, this blog lives on!
I am passionate about social justice, equality in all its senses, mental and physical health parity, understanding ‘health’ and ‘wellbeing’ more holistically, building community. I aim to be an intersectional feminist and hope that is reflected through my blogs.
I welcome debate and I welcome feedback. I love to hear what people think about what I’m thinking! So please do get in touch to share responses and ideas.
These blogs are not intending to be definitive views. They intend to explore the messiness of what it is to be human and to be living in the world we live in. They examine the uncertainties, nuances, contradictions and dichotomies. They often have no set conclusions. The intention is that they start conversations, not that they end them.

‘So you want to be an ally’
Head over to Fadzo Productions site to read this blog about what allyship really means. And while you’re there, check out the rest of the site, subscribe to the channel, listen to a podcast and take in the incredibleness that is Ropa Mungwari.
‘Woke warrior’
Thank you to the Daily Mail for adding that title to my resume! If you are a student or staff member at a university and are interested in finding out more about how to combat weight stigma in sports and fitness on campus, please get in touch. I would love to increase this project’s outreach and will continue to do so in my ‘spare’ time.
HEPI blog
I wrote a blogpost for the Higher Education Policy think tank ‘Weight Stigma has no place in Sports, Exercise and Health’. This blog intends to highlight the problems in fitness spaces at university that harm students and increase risk of disordered eating and exercise.
Let’s make something together.
