This is what I’ve been searching for. A book I didn’t want to put down and so, ended up finishing within 72 hours. A book that felt so relatable that for a brief moment, I forgot how challenging (read: shitshow) this year has been. A book I stayed up until midnight reading in bed until […]
I recently downloaded TikTok and within minutes I realised that as a 32-year-old, I clearly was not the app’s intended audience. It felt chaotic, and not entirely dissimilar to the horror one experiences when entering a TK Maxx and tries to locate a particular clothing item in their size. 😬 There’s no order or structure […]
21st September 2015 — Freshers’ week. I had just enrolled for my Masters at Goldsmiths and as someone who hadn’t taken full advantage of the university experience the first time round, I had vowed to fully immerse myself in the experience. Overwhelmed by the choice of societies I could join, I felt a sigh of relief when […]
I have made peace with the fact that I will never find comfort in chaos. This week it seemed as though all the pieces fell into place as I came to a sudden realisation. The reason that I’ve always felt affinity with Monica from Friends, or Amy Santiago from Brooklyn Nine Nine, or even Claire […]

It’s primary user base seems to be young teenagers, hoping their video will cause the next viral dance craze or challenge, or […]
Sustainability is ‘in’ right now. Whether it’s KFC and their vegan chicken burger, Burger King’s controversial advert promoting their move away from the use of artificial preservatives, or McDonald’s phasing out plastic straws, it’s all about showcasing your brand purpose.
