Receiving the @NABJ Percy Qoboza Foreign Journalist of the Year Award for the work I do at the Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity (@LHC4MD) will probably be the last time I speak publicly representing the Centre. It was the perfect send off of an amazing three years. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Brilliant evening at #STEAMhouse last night, celebrating the official unveiling of 'Lip-sync' by artist Holly Hendry. @hendry_holly Holly gave a fascinating talk about what inspired 'Lip-sync' guiding a rapt audience through the inception and development of this beautiful piece.

Such a pleasure to be @vocebooks this evening to listen to one of my absolute heroes @mjohnharrison who I started reading in the now distant 1970s and whose writing continued to be assured, elusive and thoroughly wonderful.

“I’m not surprised in the slightest with the findings," said Dr Khawaja. "When we set up the South Asian Cricket Academy, we knew there were inequalities that needed addressing. What the ECB has found at national level, we had found locally."

Wonderful evening @MyBCU @BirmCons with the Maestro @Shankar_Live accepting an Honorary Degree - made all the more special by the company of his brothers in music @jmcl_gtr and @ZakirHtabla. Extraordinary and very moving.

@Amanda_Vickery There was a silence, then Dr Pike said 'Nigel loved it' again, and they both stared at the garden. 2/2

@Amanda_Vickery The wonderful exchange with the patronising Pike brothers.
“Ha ha,' said Ralph. 'Arma virumque cano.' He turned to me and said, 'Of arms and the man I sing. Virgil.'
I said, 'Adeo in teneris consuescere multum est. As the twig is bent the tree inclines. Also Virgil.' 1/2
