Here are news, updates and gigs. For live feeds, follow my Instagram here and Twitter here and here (as of October 2023, I have left Musk’s X). See here for latest/ongoing inquiries, interventions and more. Email to book. What I charge for my labour depends on your EDI policy record proven and sustained action (and not just since 2020 when declarations of anti-racism became ‘on trend’).
