This Body of Mine

My debut spoken word album, This Body of Mine, is a collection of performance poems that express my views and experiences of mental health, misogyny, sexual violence, healing, community and embodiment.

Each piece within the album is unique and artistically crafted around a particular topic, such as anxiety, street harassment and bodily autonomy. They encompass a range of styles and forms, such as epic, freeverse and lyrical poetry, that vividly depict my intersectional experience living as a mind-body in a complex and often traumatic world.

This album was recorded and edited by Every Rose at Starground Studios, and funded by London Arts and Health, Arts & Health Hub and Raw Material Music and Media.

You can listen to This Body of Mine for free on SoundCloud:

*Please note: many pieces could be triggering for survivors of sexual violence. Please take care of yourself and listen at a pace you trust is safe enough for your wellbeing.

So happy to see my article ‘An Islington Gal’s T on Inequality’ printed in @cubitt_gallery Community Press 💗 💫 Would you like to join an engaging community platform for artists, storytellers, healers, movers and shakers? Last June, I was invited to speak at @cooperativesuk National Youth Summit to share my insights on running a cooperative organisation. 2024 ❤️‍🩹 So proud of us 💗 Thank you @sadeh_farm and all the beautiful people, plants, animals and fungi I’ve met over the past two weeks for all the incredible learning, connection, ceremonies and celebration 💕 🌱 🍄 📖 ✡️ 🍉 10 years ago, when I had just survived rape, I wrote the words “This Body of Mine” without knowing why or what it would lead to. Now, a decade later, I am releasing my debut spoken word album with those very words as its title. Rest is a radical act of resistance ✊🏼 and I couldn’t have found a more beautiful place to slow down, breathe and refill my cup 💕 Last night I showcased my painting at a group exhibition at @bprojectspace organised by @skaped as the finale to their wonderful Community Artivism programme.
