@micha_frazer So sorry this happened to you. Sounds like illegal discrimination that Oxford Citizens Advice could help advise on @CitizensAdvice

Ending my trip and heading back to Oxford - on the train reading @thewritinghippo’s new book from @HQstories. Love Vera Wong’s feisty character and being transported back to San Francisco.

Completely shocked and amazed to see a copy of my #IamNotaTourist book at the iconic Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris!! A reader can now get a signed copy! ✍️ Loved seeing @gaaradams ‘Guest Privileges’ book in the front window! 🤩

Devastating to see the DOJ Community Relations Service facing closure. Learned so much from Ron Wakabayashi when I was an intern during law school. Inspired me to connect deeply/meaningfully with communities and develop my skills in mediation/conciliation
