I am published in a book!
One in Five by Louisa Britain / @roadsidemum is in my hands. Little me could cry.

@EllaDecember I taught in Brazil for a while.
Westminster, Notting Hill, Oxford Street, Piccadilly. They don’t know Brixton or Peckham — why would they ☠️. They don’t know that we do carnival here.
