Amidst all the madness, today my sisters and I stumbled into an incredible black owned chocolate shop in Greenwich.
Perfect for a coffee date or catchup!
This lovely brother is one of the owners. Check out Dark Sugars on Nelson Road SE10🙌🏾❤️

After Lee Rigby died, EDL protested in Woolwich. I was in secondary school squaring up to big men. Children were in tears in the streets. Truly one of my most awful memories. Even in our most diverse constituencies there is a STRONG underbelly

Youth work/community work is not glamorous - I promise you. The hours are unsocial, the pay is shit and the emotional toil can be horrendous but our communities only function because there are those who are prepared to do it.

For those interested in African diasporic culinary history, I highly recommend High on the Hog on Netflix! And any work by Jessica B Harris💪🏾
James Hemings, brother to Sally Hemings was the first American to train as a chef in France. He was enslaved by Thomas Jefferson at 8.
The Chef de cuisine is the reason macaroni and cheese made it to America.
