Rhia & The Tree of Lights follows the journey of a British-Indian girl living on the Jurassic Coast who comes across […]

    As a trans person of colour, I feel our voices have been erased from the climate conversation

    I wrote this article for AURELIA Magazine; you may view this article, and many others that deal with issues surrounding marginalised genders and ethnicities, on their website here – https://aureliamagazine.com/climate-conversation-trans-poc/ My hands gripped the cardboard sign firmly, fingertips boring into the sides. I lifted it high, a heady mix of euphoria and frustration bloomed between […]

    Intelligence of Organisms

    Throughout history, the intelligence of organisms has always been questioned. How something that is considered alive thinks, is famously what has given humanity power, leadership, and the ability to reign supreme over all other species… I wrote this article for Bloom in Doom magazine, as can be seen here: https://www.bloomindoom.com/environment/intelligence-organismss We consider ourselves an intelligent […]

    The Whales Speak

    The reason I was first interested in studying marine biology at university, a few years ago now, was to try to understand the link between cetacean intelligence and communication…I find these animals the most fascinating of all, and the chance to write about them and their incredible “speech” presented itself in the form of Bloom […]

    The Art of Belonging

    I was asked a few weeks back to write an article for Wild Women Press, in the form of a Wild Women thread for their Web of wonderful spinsters – as they say on their opening page, “Think of this as a conversation around the cauldron, a gathering space for women to spin together our […]

    Trophy Hunting: The Good, the Bad, and the Not what you thought.

    Following a request from myself to write for the amazing nature/environmental magazine Natures Gold, and in keeping with the theme of “Home” present as the core of the 6th Issue of Spring 2021, I wrote an article that dealt with the much debated and controversial topic of “Trophy Hunting”, or as some know it as, […]

    The Graveyard.

    I don’t rightly know how I got here. Or at least. I couldn’t rightly tell you. My brain is telling awful fibs these days. But I am here all the same. I enter cautiously. Tentatively. Do I really belong here? It’s a question my mind pushes to the peak of the pile most days. But […]

We discussed everything from spirituality and diversity to birdwatching, you can have a read here on their website: […]
