Abi, it was an utter pleasure. Thanks so much for the chat and for the anecdote about the Nigerian teletubbies. The book is a real treasure.

This is a great chat between two absolute gems 🥰

Thinking about lockdowns and suicide, I remember the absolute isolation I felt and then desolation when my fears became reality. It’s very important to find human contact, whether that be through stand in the parks or by exchanging details with those you connect with. Francis O’Neill gave me some great advice; when it all feels overwhelming just do one day at a time, don’t think “what if they knock on my door” just live each day and if nothing changes live the next day. Ignore the coercion and fear porn. Speak to those who will support you.

I’m devastated for Trudi and anyone else who has lost a loved one. We go on xxx
