Thanks to @BrickLaneCircle and @GeorgieWemyss for supporting this event at @ideastores Whitechapel. On the 6th anniversary of Grenfell it felt poignant to talk with a community that knows housing injustice as both a historical & ongoing experience.
As ever, thx also to @LW_Books
I was delighted to host @StepneyTrust and their 'I Sewed, I Sewed and I Sewed' exhibition to celebrate the untold stories of Bangladeshi seamstresses in the East End.
