Loved chatting to

about her beautiful new song, 'roots'.
See what she had to say about

, her life in Lancashire and finding out she was a

artist while "rotting" with a hangover 👇
The amount of (sometimes large and well known) companies who want people to dedicate hours of their time writing news and articles for free is ridiculous. Please pay your workers 🙏 It's our passion, but we can't pay rent with 'life experience'.

is starting to look like my essay writing style- putting off the inevitable then chaotically scrambling something together then night before it's due.
Never thought my first 'proper' journalism article would be on the one thing I find incredibly uncomfortable- hugging 😆.
However, learning more about this therapy was incredibly interesting & informative.

During these scary and uncertain times, I want to hear about the unique ways you are staying connected with friends/ family. 👨👨👧👧
Have you discovered a new app? Is Facetime useful? Is there an online game you play together? DMs are open.

So building construction workers are encouraged to go back to work- which to me means my 62-year-old dad has to take the risk at work or be without money 🤔 will any further grants or benefits be made avaliable to this industry if they choose to stay home?

Long story short- I’m getting a call about my health insurance quote between 9am-8pm tomorrow and I’m off to buy out Boots’ supply of hand sanitiser 😅👍
There’s nothing like fatherly reassurance during a global crisis.
Initially, my article was only meant to touch on mental health.
Before I knew it, mental health became a central part of the narrative.
So many people I interviewed for this article told me that fandom has saved their lives on more than one occasion. 2/3

Hi Mark. I truly hope you are okay and got home safely! I'm writing an article about this and finding out exactly what went wrong.
Am I able to use these photos in the story? I have dropped you a message with more information.
