I currently give talks across London on nineteenth-century women travel writers’ views on slavery; in addition on prominent black female travellers and writers of the same period like Mary Prince and Nancy Prince who went to Britain and Russia respectively.

I am developing talks on the following questions:

How glaucoma affects the African Caribbean community?

How mindfulness can aid recovery from loss and bereavement?

Please email me for hourly rates.
