Challenging your mates on their behaviour towards women doesn’t spell the end of your friendships. It can make them stronger.
Great to chat to @RomeshRanga about why he wanted to use his voice—and his stage—to help combat violence against women & girls, and amplify our campaign.

I really believe that for us to tackle toxic masculinity we have to raise all our children as the same, and instead of thinking ‘how to raise boys’ (or girls) we need to focus on ‘how to raise good humans’ beyond bias and norms. This is what I really believe.

Lovely new mould for @chocolarder of Cornwall, who use beans from the Idukki district of Kerala in India to make this complex, citrussy dark bar. Another great creation from one of my favourite UK makers

I'm feeling fond of #Londoners today after a @TfL bus driver leaned out of his window at the lights and asked me to go and check on a woman he'd seen looking upset in a cafe window. So I did, and I told her the bus driver was concerned about her - and I think it helped.

There may have been many who missed the quirky mention of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose in Wes Anderson's latest film,Asteroid City, set in a fictional desert town in America's West. Ironically, a century ago,America's elite scientists had waged a war against this brilliant mind.1/20

It feels good planning to teach #yoga again. The last time I taught in-person yoga was the day lockdown was announced. Being a nurse on an infectious diseases ward there wasn't the scope to teach yoga online. Teaching again is part of the recovery
Class starts 6th September

Great words to share, recently I felt like I had hit a brick wall but isn't it true there is always a way around the wall. It's just needs a little time and thought

I have a lockup full of catering equipment in central London that I’d love to donate to a homeless shelter food kitchen - fridges, catering tables, shelves, sinks etc. Does anyone have a good contact for someone who might be able to put to a good home?
