Today starts Refugee Week UK, and I thought I’d share my first hand embroidered artwork in a series about immigration. This is ‘Citizenship Requirements’, the 1st page of the UK citizenship app in thread & fabric, emphasising the explicit & implicit demands of being a ‘good’, ‘grateful’ immigrant.

Really enjoyed being ‘in conversation’ with Prof Yasmin Khan last week for the @torchoxford2013.bsky.social Race & Resistance talk! We coincidentally coordinated outfits! Thanks to the R&R team for the chance to talk about my #IamNotaTourist book and show my embroidery art pieces.
Binge-watched Bridgerton for some indulgent escapism. The fab ESEA on-screen rep was long overdue and felt so meaningful - loved the Cantonese! Katie Leung did her thing as a villain with depth. She narrated my #IamNotATourist audiobook, so if you want more, there’s 9+ hrs of her gorgeous voice!
I’ve been volunteering at The Old Fire Station in Oxford to help out with their Koestler Arts ‘Through the Blue’ exhibition that’s on until 14th March, and wrote this blog post. Check out the beautiful artwork made by people in custody and on probation.

Grateful to my lovely University of Oxford MPLS ED&I #DreamTeam for the beautiful ornaments! @hannahravenswood.bsky.social, Joanne Knights and Amy Hinks - thank you for everything this year. You are a talented, dedicated and supportive bunch who help make work fun! I’m lucky to work alongside you
Enjoyed giving this talk about East and Southeast Asian communities today at the University of Oxford EDI Community of Practice event. Lovely to spend the morning with such committed and caring colleagues.
Hard to believe it’s exactly one year since my book 'I am Not a Tourist', was published by @harpercollins.bsky.social. Been amazing connecting with readers about what the book has meant to them. Hardcover, e-book and audiobook (narrated by Katie Leung) are available now. Paperback out in August!

Enjoyed meeting friendly creative people at the Old Fire Station in Oxford for the Winter Open exhibition preview party last week. Check out the artwork on display until 20th Dec. 70+ artists and 130+ artworks, including my ‘Sheldonian’ hand embroidery piece!

2025 was a monumental year with the publication of my #IamNotaTourist book & the East Asian artist showcase at Old Fire Station that I organised. Met so many amazing people this year! Got this 2026 peace diary from my fave radical bookshop to use as a gratitude journal. Hope 2026 brings you peace.

I’m guilty of trying to do self-care the “right way.” If I couldn’t meditate for twenty minutes, then I wouldn’t bother doing it at all. If I couldn’t do an hour at the gym, I’d wait for the day I cou...
