It's official: Birmingham is the UK's first ever superdiverse city. As a mixed race second-generation immigrant to the UK, I see my mixture represented in the city around me. I am a kinder, more open and accepting person for my mixture, and I owe so much of that to living in Brum

My 5 year olds bedtime question tonight, on the last night of the summer holidays “Mummy… do you think there will ever be a forever weekend….?” Oh kid. Don’t know how to break it to you.

#Birmingham's coat of arms and motto. Our city moves #FORWARD through #ART and #INDUSTRY. Anyone who thinks it's a bright idea to suggest selling off the city's municipal art collection doesn't know Brum.

One of my favourite brummie weekends

Birmingham, its canals and the whole vibe of the city last night was wonderful. I had worried it had lost a spark recently but as usual, Brum always comes through. Also BECOMING NANCY is top class

Answering my 9 year olds questions about the current geopolitical situation. ‘Wouldn’t it be easier if everyone just agreed not to have nuclear weapons mum?” Kid, I’m sorry.

You know you work in the right place when you have colleagues who pop seed packets into your birthday card 3 months ago that you get to grow flowers from. What a joy.

What a joy it was to care for baby Asher and his family. Love my job.
