Last week, I joined Prostate Cancer Research to deliver 135k+ signatures to @10DowningStreet for a national screening programme. 1 in 8 White men and 1 in 4 Black men will face prostate cancer. Early detection saves lives. Get tested!!💙 #ProactiveForYourProstate

Excited to explore #DrumPower in Munich with Andreas Wölfl & Yoshihito Matthias! 🎶 Hoping to bring this psychodynamic program to our school for children with autism. It uses musical improvisation for violence prevention & social integration. Can’t wait to see its impact! #Autism

@KickOffAt3 @ed_accura @wwwtmspporg @radiodotun @EddieNestorMBE @WaterSafety4All @RNLI @HenleySwim I’ve just checked out the event. It sounds great. I am interested in being part of the team and exploring sponsorship opportunities!

@ed_accura @KickOffAt3 @wwwtmspporg @radiodotun @EddieNestorMBE @WaterSafety4All @RNLI After a cold swim I feel high. Anxieties and depressive thoughts seem to melt away. I get the best sleep. Cold water triggers release of serotonin, cortisol, dopamine and norepinephrine.

@ed_accura @KickOffAt3 @wwwtmspporg @radiodotun @EddieNestorMBE @WaterSafety4All @RNLI I’ve taken up open water swimming at Lake 32 in Cotswold Water Park. It would be lovely if there are other black people interested in trying it out!

@ed_accura @KickOffAt3 @wwwtmspporg @radiodotun @EddieNestorMBE @WaterSafety4All @RNLI Swimming in cold water gives me the most amazing buzz. It feels like a reset of my nervous system, my mental health and outlook feels so positive after a dip!

@BlackSwimAssoc I’ve taken up open water swimming at Lake 32 in Cotswold Water Park. It would be lovely to see some other black people! Let me know if you’re up for it!

@jazztoad @MoongaNsamu I agree that ALL music is not healing. I had @MoongaNsamu in mind and your excellent interview with him! 😊
