Little stone cottages, winding roads, greenery everywhere…

Very humbling realising how little you actually need to feel settled…

Village life in Allendale, will have you considering a cottage move, until you remember that mobile signals are non existent and WiFi is a lifeline.

Couldn’t survive 🤣🥴

I worked from the Freeman Hospital today…

Meet T - a young man who’s been in hospital for a more than 18 months, waiting for a heart transplant. In all that time, something as simple as getting his hair done hadn’t been possible. But it mattered. Not just for how he looks, but for how he feels; his identity, his confidence, his sense of self in a space that can take so much from you.

Hannah from Youth Focus: North East reached out, having been working behind the scenes to make this happen. Finally today, we showed up.

His hair was re-loc’d and styled. This moment went beyond hair. It was about dignity, culture, and making sure he felt seen as more than a patient.

Empowering people and communities is much more… It’s about recognising that not everyone has access, not everyone can simply book in, and not everyone is moving through life in the same way. Sometimes the work is about stepping into spaces where you’re needed most.

I’ve promised to stay in touch with T and thank Hannah for making the connection so Kulture Kurls can work its magic, and to Red Sky Foundation for supporting this, and to the team at the Freeman Hospital for holding the space, so we can uplift T.

It might seem small to some, but moments like this mean so much more.

From Co-op Live to a full-circle moment with Wu-Tang Clan - The Final Chamber takes you through music, memory, and legacy in a way only real cultural reflection can.

This isn’t just about a concert. It’s about what Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) meant then… and what it still means now. The era it shifted. The solo greatness that followed. The sound that never really left.

And yes, the energy, the icons, the reality of time… all in one room.

If you grew up on this, or even if you didn’t but understand what music can carry, this one is worth your time.

This guest blog piece by Dr Dan Jefferson is just fiiiinnneee ...Read here: https://tribetesi.com/the-final-chamber/..

Saturday marked the very first She Rises get-together, and what a powerful beginning it was.

The room was filled with rich, honest and generous conversations. Women listening deeply, sharing lived experiences, and holding space for one another with the shared intention of growth, healing and empowerment. There was something truly special about seeing familiar faces reconnect, alongside new connections forming naturally within the space.

A huge thank you to One Strawberry Lane for hosting us so beautifully, and to our incredible caterers for the abundance of delicious African and South Asian dishes that kept us nourished throughout.

She Rises is just a couple of weeks away, and now is the time to register if you haven’t already.

This is a space created with intention - for connection, honest conversations, and being in a room with women who understand the weight and beauty of rising, even when it isn’t easy.
