A very busy year with special guests at Homerton such as Reverend Al Sharpton, Diana Abbott, and Armando Iannucci; incredible conversations with great colleagues…and finally holding my new book in my hands.

My students filled with energy and sparks this very intense 2024 and I am so very thankful.
