Today is International Day of the Girl Child. Great to see Princess Meghan out again, using her platform to support young girls.

Yesterday morning, marking BHM, I spoke at a London church about the theme of “Reclaiming Narratives”. Thanks to host (Rev. Reed) & to those who bought copies of my books. Met some polite children & amenable adults who enjoyed the talk. Sir Geoff Palmer Barbara Blake Hannah, O.D., O.S.E. NubianQueenBee

Countdown time! Looking forward to engaging with trailblazer Dr. Akyaaba Addai-Sebo (who started Black History Month UK in 1987), historian Bro Cecil Gutzmore et al.

More images of Sunday’s BHM event. A literary activist, my books “tell our own stories”, celebrate our heroes, reject Black stereotypes, show how the British colonial education system devalued our traditional stories… Sir Geoff Palmer Barbara Blake Hannah, O.D., O.S.E.

Yesterday afternoon, I found myself sitting on a low/comfy chair talking about my book, A Home for Mr No-Roach, Wandsworth Libraries. It was good to see so many enthusiastic children listening to a traditional Jamaican story. Sir Geoff Palmer Barbara Blake Hannah, O.D., O.S.E.

Great Black History Month discussion last night (“Reclaiming Narratives”) with esteemed Dr. Akyaaba Addai-Sebo (founder of BHM UK), Bro Cecil Gutzmore , Olga Mathews & Dr. Audrey Allwood. I am still buzzing! Sir Geoff Palmer Barbara Blake Hannah, O.D., O.S.E. NubianQueenBee The BLAC Awards CIC EstherXosei Elfreda Hedger🇯🇲❤️

Contrary to belief, Black men do buy books. Speaking of “Reclaiming Narratives” during BHM, this image challenges the notion that Black men do not read. The young man in beige coat bought all 3 of my books for his 18 y-o nephew! Note Jamaica Gleaner on the table. George Ruddock.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking at Woolwich Library about what Black History Month means to me in my role as a writer, womanist & literary activist. Thanks to staff for support. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Sir Geoff Palmer Barbara Blake Hannah, O.D., O.S.E. NubianQueenBee British black music & music industry runnings... Royal Greenwich Libraries

Speaking of “reclaiming narratives” during Black History Month, check out my historical novel, Little River (1731-1812). The book tells of the Scottish sugar barons in plantation Jamaica - transatlantic slavery! Many thanks to all the people who’ve bought Little River…

Thoroughly enjoyed my talk at Nunhead Library Southwark Libraries last night. Great to see Garfield Robinson (publisher/bookseller), Lorlett Hudson (leadership coach) et al.

On Friday night, I sported an Afro at the BLAC Awards in Birmingham where I met some inspirational folk, incl. Prof Martin Levermore & Sandra Martin. On the way back, I bumped into Sis Zita Holbourne at the station & we exchanged books. Sir Geoff Palmer Barbara Blake Hannah, O.D., O.S.E. NubianQueenBee

Since Friday night, when I abandoned my headwrap, I’ve had several messages from Black women saying how much they admire my Afro! I thought I’d share another photo which says a lot about challenging “hair discrimination” & my identity. Good to meet this lovely, ambitious PC…

Looking forward to officially launching my new children’s picture book, A Home for Mr No-Roach, on 15th Nov at 6pm. If you’re in London, join me at International House in Brixton.

Yesterday I was moved to tears by VP Kamala Harris’s ‘shocking defeat…’ Today I quote Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh) in Margaret Mitchell’s epic film Gone With the Wind (think slavery in the American South & the plantation named Tara): ‘After all, tomorrow is another day.’

What a relief to see Prince Harry & Princess Meghan at a time when so many of us are still processing the presidential election & the shocking defeat of VP Kamala Harris.🥲After another painful day, knowing VP Harris worked her socks off, this photo has put a smile on my face.

Countdown time! If you’re in London, join me at International House in Brixton (Friday 15th Nov at 6.00pm) where I’ll be launching my children’s picture book, A Home for Mr No-Roach.
