Veteran news anchor Jon Snow has shared that he’s living with dementia, speaking publicly for the first time to raise awareness of a condition affecting around 1 million people across the UK.
Jon and his wife, neurologist Dr Precious Lunga, are supporting Alzheimer’s Society @alzheimerssoc and shared the story of Jon’s diagnosis in @DailyMail as part of our Defeating Dementia campaign with the newspaper.

We’ve partnered with Jon, in association with @Channel4, on a powerful new documentary airing on 20 June. Jon Snow: A Last Big Story looks at how he’s navigating life with dementia, and how, when we all come together, we can change the story.
Thank you to Jon and Precious for their courage and openness to bring much-needed attention to dementia 💙

I've never perceived freelancing as glamorous lol
It's endless networking, not knowing when your next job is coming, no sick/mat pay. It's only by the grace of God I've done it successfully for 10+years but if a staff job was offered, I'd snap it up.
I said I’d never get a 9–5. I meant it too btw!!
But six months ago, I walked into Ogilvy, broke, proud, and coming out of a season I didn’t have the language for yet. The freelance life looked good on the outside, but behind the scenes I was on UC, holding it together with faith and performance.
Something had to give. And it did.
This isn’t a “I sold out” story. It’s a “I surrendered and found peace” one.
In the last six months, I’ve paid my bills consistently. Led creative on shoots. Found structure again. Found people again. Found MYSELF again. And somewhere in the middle of all that, God stripped the noise out of me.
Comparison. Ego. Pressure to be seen. Gone quiet.
I also just finished a 21-day Daniel fast (yay). And it reminded me of something simple. I can do hard things. I just needed to come back to myself properly.
Now I’m here.
9–5.
Still writing.
Still building Mimi the Music Blogger.
Still called.
All at the same time.
Nothing I went through was wasted. Not the broke era. Not the pride. Not the breakdown. It all makes sense now.
New Substack post is up. This one has layers.

“Beyoncé could possibly be the celebrity of celebrities. I remember going over to her house several times to work on II MOST WANTED, and I got to see Rih and Cardi there. The following week, Bruno and Megan were at the dinner table! And yes, me and Bruno talked all about that lawsuit.”
