My life journey to date has been a struggle to assert my own definitions of freedom and happiness whilst also living life through my cultural and traditional lens as a Black African Christian woman migrant in the UK.

So you may ask the question; who am I today? I have often asked myself the same question and like with all humans, there is no clear cut answer, I don’t think. I’ve now lived long enough to define my cultural tradition as fluid, someone who feels and remains forever hungry to learn, in order that I recognise, respect and understand our world, both as it is and as it ought to be in the interest of all of us, as citizens of the world. A very tall order but that’s who I strive to be to date! 

Hence, my overall objective here is two-fold. First, is to inform both my children and subsequent grandchildren about my life growing up & how different it is to theirs – an opportunity I missed with my own parents. Second of all, is to recognise and appreciate all diasporas, regardless of where they call home.
