Don’t get swayed by the ones shouting the loudest. Look for the ones quietly doing the work, who usually have been for years & who often gave initial opportunities to those shouting. Integrity is about more than followers & being with the in crowd. It takes grit. It takes years.

This Meghan Markle stuff honestly feels like a witch hunt, like they're doing EVERYTHING in their power to destroy her... deeply uncomfortable. Especially considering Diana. It's really scary -the hate & vitriol. I REALLY hope she's OK. It seems #BeKind doesn't extend to her. :(

For all the gaslighters who say ‘it’s not that bad now’ or ‘Britain isn’t racist’ or ‘black people get all the jobs’ or any other nonsense- the struggle & the fight remains, is real. To accept a career defining gig & know you’ll likely receive racist ABUSE for it, is abhorrent.

Don’t talk to me till you’ve got on the #IMayDestroyYou train. @MichaelaCoel better get the Waller-Bridge level of recognition quick time - she deserves every single bit of success everywhere ever. She’s a powerhouse, multi talented, bad ass QUEEN and I am obsessed. I STAN HARD.

Today I didn’t order a take away despite desperately wanting to and I changed my bed sheets and put a wash on and read two chapters of a book when my concentration is shot. So ✌🏽 - in this climate that is genuinely a win for me. Celebrating the wins all the way! None too tiny.

Theatre companies/venues/producers with a bit of cash - @We_BurnBright are looking to elevate black voices asap because there's a lot of shit that needs to be said NOW, and not just from those with a platform. If you'd like to collaborate & help up fund this please get in touch.

Woke up sad, bleak, not good enough, a familiar black hole. But I had an meeting, so I dragged myself&met 2 massive players who couldn’t have been kinder or more helpful/inspiring. I guess I’m saying - good eggs do exist. Show up as whoever you are today & maybe magic will visit.

I’m really sorry to the axed orchestra members of Phantom. As if losing your job isn’t enough, the blow of the attitude surrounding it is a real kick in the teeth. You can’t MAKE art without artists & I’m so sick of this narrative that the talent is disposable. Sh*tty statement.

I'm having a sad day. So, I've started writing a new play. It's called 'NARC'. You might say it's from experience. If it's bad for your heart, it's good for your art. Currently Playing: Wish I Didn't Miss You : Angie Stone. To all my Warriors, I see you. <3

Tonight I was a shop assistant on itv’s #CleaningUp & a boss lady on Ch4’s #Pure & in reality I’m at home in my pjs wondering what’s next. I can’t say that it gets easier cos it hasn’t for me yet. But I can say that sometimes even for a fleeting moment, dreams become a reality.😘

Does anyone else feel like they’re going insane? I’m REALLY feeling it today. I don’t know what to do to get through the next five weeks or so? 😭😭😭 I’ll find a way to be positive again tomorrow but today is a sad one. If you’re going through it, I’m right there with you. ❤️

The way people are coming for the Line of Duty ending when that genius writer gave you HOURS of edge of your seat, screaming at the tv moments?! It’s HIS show, he earned his ending & he used it to comment on the state of the world. Brave, bold. Never mind you.. LET HIM HAVE IT?!

My Mum is at the hour dedicated for people over 70 at @marksandspencer & they just gave her free flowers. I was on the phone to her as she received them & my heart was full at how happy she sounded. Thank you for taking care of our special ones when we can’t be there physically.

Is anyone else STRESSED about omicron? I don’t know whether to cancel plans or not. Hoping to get to Glasgow to see my loved ones & now I’m scared I won’t get there. But I’ve been indoors ill for ages & crave company. All feels relentless. I hope everyone is OK. Sending love. X

Just read about @scantilyclad_ ’s experience in The @guardian & I swear if I was a millionaire I’d send her that £10,000 deposit back in a heartbeat to help her get on her feet. Check out her important story. I can’t believe this is happening. OUTRAGEOUS. I’m so sorry Hayley. ❤️
