As someone living with anxiety and who has been pushed by health systems to use digital tools over and over again, this is alarming!
We deserve access to face to face interactions, long-term treatment and human interlocutors. Don’t waste our time and limited energy!

“Communities most affected by problems must help drive the agenda on what science gets conducted, by whom, how, and who benefits the most from it.”

Well, it is official! 😆😁
The gallery I have been curating over the past few months with @ExploreWellcome is open.
The Kola Nut Cannot Be Contained is about the entangled global histories, vibrant traditions, and future innovations surrounding this small West African fruit.
ALT A museum gallery's front entrance featuring a grey wall, wooden flooring, and three large cream-coloured display panels mounted onto the grey wall. The first panel says 'The KOLA NUT cannot be contained'. The second and third panels have small writings not easily readable.
ALT An image of two kola nuts on a light wooden table, both have been cut. Kola nuts are generally about the size of a chestnut. The one on the left is cream-coloured with some dark spots and the one on the right is reddish with dark spots.

When we talk about mental health, what is possible in the absence of repair? Meaningful repair? I beg us all to remember this, now and always.
Also: ceasefire now; Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Soooo excited by @jeremycorbyn’s #IslingtonNorth victory & inspired by all the hard work and campaigning that went into it! Shout out to @nab__ahmed my canvassing buddy for braving lots of littering and polite rejection with me @ archway station! ✊🏾🙌🏾💪🏾

Looks like we've got some new required reading for our Health Geographies module!🔥
Immensely grateful to have this published today with @PlutoPress. It’s been 10 years since #ebola in Sierra Leone, much still needs to change for global health systems and leaders to undo colonial thinking and recognise and honour African and Black lives.

A huge thank you to all those whose work, thinking and activism has influenced the writing of this book.
And an equally huge thank you to @seyeabimbola, @rashida_abbferr @Ethnography911 and @SimuChigudu for writing incredibly generous endorsements and taking the time to engage with the book in the first place! 💚🤍💙
