It was a joy to attend an intimate dinner, alongside the amazing June Sarpong OBE and Mark Florman of Time Partners, celebrating Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Denis Mukwege in London earlier last month and be among such powerhouses. Wishing you all a fruitful and empowering year ahead!

Not everyone gets the chance to tell those who have had a positive impact on their lives. I was lucky enough express my gratitude to my now late friend Margaret in "To The Woman" a series I presented for Audible. In tribute I'd like to reshare a clip of my letter to her.

I've been out of the UK since the election was announced, so just getting into the swing of things of now. On July 4th I will be voting for Keir Starmer and the @uklabour. I believe a Labour government whatever your status in life is the best option. #UKgeneralelection2024
