Some personal news! I've been promoted to Senior Editor in London. I'll oversee CNN's digital platforms, leading a badass team and commissioning stories. Women who look like me, or speak softly, don't often get into these roles. I'm grateful for being seen, heard and trusted 🥰

⚠️To Whom It May Concern,
The occupation is now openly threatening a full-scale invasion of Gaza.
For 22 months, the city has been bleeding under relentless bombardment from land, sea, and air.
Tens of thousands have been killed, and hundreds of thousands wounded.

If this madness does not end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.

Please share this message and tag everyone who has the power to help end this massacre. Silence is complicity.

Last year, working in Ireland, having a pint in the cold outside a Dalkey pub with some new friends, a woman with purpose strode past us. Puffy parker zipped to the nape and her bowed head covered in a scarf. One of my new friends muttered an exclamation, jumped up

@SangitaMyska It’s complete rubbish! People always think I was privately educated when I was a state school girl through and through. Paying for schooling doesn’t make you smarter

Incredibly moving to see #WhileWeWatched: an intimate documentary about Indian journalist @ravishndtv and to hear him talk calmly yet passionately about saving the disastrous state of journalism in the nation. Hats off to director Vinay Shukla, I couldn’t turn away 👏🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Growing up, there were three VHS videos in our house that me and my mum pretty much watched on repeat: Grease, Dirty Dancing, and Tina Turner Live In Barcelona 1990.
