This is the canon: decolonising your bookshelf - event now at Brixton Library Lambeth Black History Month


I had the absolute BEST time yesterday at Brixton Library discussing the practicalities of decolonising the bookshelf with Prof Joan Anim-Addo, Dr Deborah Osbourne and Khadija Sesay. Thank you Quercus Books for making it happen



Listen to Elnathan John’s narration of the audiobook edition of Mukoma Wa Ngugi’s novel Unbury Our Dead with Song. Also: join me tomorrow, Friday 19th of Nov in conversation with Mukoma. Details here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-live-podca…

Excited to announce that tonight’s live show with Mukoma wa Ngügi is sold out 💥🔥 Our audience are in for a sonically immersive experience of Mukoma Wa Ngugi’s latest novel, Unbury Our Dead With Song, which I highly recommend you purchase.



Last night’s live recording of da poddy was a dream! Huge thanks Mukoma Wa Ngugi for the generous dose of laughter, unforgettable stories, and music… Cassava Republic for consistently feeding our imagination with rich texts… & Libreria London for a stellar venue.





Had the pleasure of spending the evening listening to an utterly illuminating conversation between Ekow Eshun & Marlon James in celebration of the launch of #MoonWitchSpiderKing at the Southbank Centre 🙌🏾

I’m giving away 2 FREE tickets to Ballet Black’s incredible tribute to Nina Simone tomorrow at York Theatre Royal. Saw them at Stratford in May & they were awe-mazing. Booked ticket to see them again, but enemies of progress won’t let me prosper. DM if you want. yorktheatreroyal.co.uk/show/ballet-bl…
