I am a true Londoner – born and bred – yet with affinities and connections to people from all over the globe. Like many Londoners my blood is mixed: Jewish South African mother and a father who was part Nigerian, part Cherokee Indian and part Scottish. I have lived and worked all over the world, but I always return home and coming home feels good. I love the mix of life in this city and the daily encounters with soulful people from all walks of life, that inspire and remind us of the wondrousness of the human spirit.

On these pages you will find short stories about encounters with these soulful folk as well as little inspirations that flow from connecting to life on these city streets and beyond.
