I’m a freelance journalist, audio producer and trainer based in London.

I have almost 30 years’ experience, including 20 at the BBC World Service.

I regularly write for the BBC News website and produce the BBC’s This is Africa weekly music programme.

I have written, produced and hosted podcast series for the BBC World Service, Kenya-based AQ Studios, openDemocracy, the International Development Economics Associates (IDEAs) and the UN’s environmental programme.

I have trained journalists in audio production and editorial values for the BBC World Service, Kenya, Zambia and Malawi broadcasters, and Somalia’s female-only media organisation, Bilan Media.

I have a particular interest and expertise in Africa, history, visual arts, music, cultural and human interest stories.

I started my BBC career as the news and features reporter in Zambia - where I grew up.
