Every year, I go to the Edinburgh Fringe and immerse myself in storytelling, hoping to get better at my craft. This year’s biggest lesson came from an unexpected source. In a science lecture room, a Madonna tribute act was singing and dancing he[...]

In the middle of a keynote, I spotted a man sleeping in the front row. Not nodding off but fully committed and unapologetically asleep. I spent the rest of that talk trying not to focus on him, which made me focus on him more, ignoring the hundre[...]

I had the privilege of speaking in Parliament alongside remarkable women whose journeys continue to reshape what leadership looks like. My message: at any point in your journey, you can decide to rewrite your story. You are never finished beco[...]

Unravelling Shortlisted as Independent Book of the Year! No blonde alter-ego publicist this time—just me, feeling incredibly proud (for so many reasons) to share that Unravelling has been shortlisted for The UK Selfie Book Awards 2025 for Best Inde[...]

I spoke at Amazon yesterday. Sharing my story of rejection, putting on a suit and pretending to go to work, the book deal I gave myself, my blonde alter-ego alias, signing a "real" 3 book deal with HarperCollins, booking a theatre and putting o[...]

My journey: * As a kid, desperate to be blonde, I shaved off my black bushy eyebrows, coloured them in with a yellow marker, and went to school. Miss Davies, my teacher, was horrified and told me that I would go far in life by just being myself. [...]

Loving this year’s South Asian Heritage Month theme, ‘Free to Be Me’. The irony isn’t lost on me, given my own journey of setting up a double life and creating a blonde alter-ego alias publicist to follow my dreams. - My first novel was rejec[...]

It was my midlife crisis... Having never acted before (not even at school), I booked a theatre in Covent Garden, rehearsed for 18 months, and put on a one woman show playing all 17 parts. I did this mostly to get over the fear that had secretly crept[...]

Yesterday, I asked  myself why I continue to do things that make no sense to anyone else but me. I love it when questions that are posed by myself are answered by the universe. It answered the question this morning, via a poem by William Stafford: T[...]
