After 7.5 years with #BBC, I’m starting a new chapter. Thrilled to join @WFP_Kenya as Head of Communications. This isn’t a departure from storytelling, it’s a shift in how and where those stories are told. With a focus on narratives rooted in building resilience. #ChangingLives

Imagine surviving on just 3kg of rice, 800g of lentils, and half a litre of oil, for an entire month. That’s the reality for refugees in Kenya today.
How would you portion it? What would you cook first? Would it last?

📢 WFP food assistance is a lifeline for over 700,000 refugees, but recent food cuts are forcing families to make tough decisions. Malnutrition levels are rising, and many are at great risk of hunger.

@WFP urgently requires new funding to provide refugees with full rations.

To think that people I share a space with every day, could condone and cheer such a dehumanizing act is unfathomable! #Justice
