We’ve raised £48,000 in 2 days for my mum who has stage 4 lung cancer! This is unbelievable and we are so close to our goal of £70,000. My mum is in disbelief at the support and kindness. Please continue to share and donate if you can 🤍🤍

None of what I've done has been possible without the wonderful team we have in our newsroom

My crew today Producer Maya Elese and Cameraman Devron Callender are among the best you could wish for, and handle every story especially Windrush with grace and sensitivity

Hi guys, I've started a newsletter for my weekly thread highlighting stories from Black, Asian & Arab communities in the UK. If you don't want to miss it, you can have it sent straight to your inbox every Friday by subscribing @ thethread.curated.co/issues/1
Thank you for supporting.

Today marks 5 years since I started at Channel 4 News, and I almost forgot to mark it because I was up at 3am to welcome Richard Black home after 40 years

But I wouldn't have it any other way, getting to cover stories that matter and hold those in power to account
