It has been a heartbreaking few months as the darkness has continued to unfold in #gaza. I’m so so grateful for this time spent in such a beautiful country with my amazing pint sized pocket rocket of a cousin @hmongi . The sister I never had, ultimate shopping buddy, travel connoisseur and lover of life. Such a gift to have spent time with you being reminded that there’s a big beautiful world out here. As a friend recently reninded me it’s our duty to live life and enjoy it because not everyone has that freedom or privilege. 🍉🤍🇧🇷

Here’s something for your Sunday morning…… My guest this week is the incredible @jaybladesmbe “Someone asked me once if I suffer from imposter syndrome… and I said, ‘well, I belong everywhere, so I’m supposed to be there.’ I don’t necessarily know the reason WHY I’m there but what then happens is it becomes clear to me maybe the next day, or the next year. But everywhere I am I’m supposed to learn something, gain something and give something. That’s what I believe.” Jay is a furniture restorer and TV presenter best known for hosting The Repair Shop on BBC 1. Jay spent many years doing youth and community work. He founded two charities, Street Dreams and Out of The Dark which focused on mentoring disadvantaged youth and helping them forge a future. He also worked with the homeless at a shelter in Oxford and with Thames Valley Police to help facilitate better policing of ethnic minorities. We discuss the importance of community, the power of acceptance and believing that every situation you encounter is happening for good reason, and how sometimes one’s lowest moments can lead to rebirth.

‘I think fate has a lot to do with our desire and our desire can propel where our fate is taking us... I believe that desire is the lily pads towards our destiny.’ I had so many questions for our guest @thelucyporter on last week’s episode.
