As someone who enables people to have the courage to speak, I felt I should practice what I preach. Link in Bio #TheGuardian #AlexandraTopping #Misogyny #TheCourageToSpeak
It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to interview @realjulietstevenson last night at the @womenofyear , alumnae event.
Juliet had the audience captivated by discussing her views on women in power, the craft of acting and her career journey. Alongside this, she discussed the spark for her involvement in charity work, particularly her work with refugees.
The evening was extra special as it was the last event as Chair for @loubievaughan Louise has worked incredibly hard over the past four years to develop, nurture and encourage everyone involved with the Women of the Year Lunch and Awards to bring it to the place it is today. Bravo!
Our wonderful President @tannigreythompson presented Louise with a gift of thanks from us all. Thank you to Susan Ball and @rsm.uk for hosting and all your support. #julietstevenson #womensupportingwomen #Acting #womenoftheyear
Huge congratulations to @senoritaramita and the team on winning last night’s BAFTA Current Affairs award for Gaza: Doctors Under Attack 🎉
Pulled by BBC last year over impartiality concerns, the film was later shown by @channel4documentaries 4 and now rightly recognised.
Listen to Ramita Navai on The Courage To Speak Podcast to hear the full story behind the film and the fight to get it seen.
Training for the #Moonwalk2026 on Saturday. If you’d like to support me and @hatdorable ‘s team raising funds for @walkthewalk Charity please see link in my bio 💕 #KeepOnWalking #Moonwalk
So proud of my talented niece @millie_mountain who performed @southbankcentre #Futuretense
‘Mountain’s enigmatic lyricism sparks a quiet sense of recognition – the kind that makes you feel understood before you even realise why. Blending the warmth of live recording with the precision of studio production, she fuses old-school soul textures with contemporary R&B, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
Mountain’s magnetic live performances showcase not only her vocal depth but her undeniable presence and personality. Since her debut release in 2020, she has steadily carved her own lane, refusing to be confined to a single genre or expectation. Each release reveals another layer, proving she isn’t here to fit into a box, but to break it open.’
Still thinking about #BetweenTheRiverAndTheSea @royalcourttheatre
I identified so strongly with @yousefsweid story- that feeling of not fully belonging to any one country or religion, and the deep resistance to being forced to take sides. The ache of existing in the in-between. Of being asked to define yourself by borders, labels, allegiances that never quite fit.
Written by @isabella.sedlak and Yousef Sweid, this play captures that space with such honesty and humanity.
A utopia without borders.
No forced sides.
What a wonderful, necessary dream.

Big news (and loads of bras 👙🌙)…
@hatdorable and I are officially doing the MoonWalk London 2026!
If you’ve never heard of it, it’s the iconic, original, brilliantly bonkers night-time walk organised by the amazing cancer charity Walk the Walk. Thousands of us will take to the streets of London overnight on May 16th, to raise awareness, invest in prevention, and support everyone living with breast cancer and other cancers.
In the video, I’m joined by the wonderful Harriet Thorpe, long-standing Ambassador for the breast cancer charity @walkthewalk Listen to our conversation on the @the_couragetospeak
