Ten MORE things Covid-19 has created that need naming
Last year, I created a coronavirus dictionary to help name ten new emotions and experiences that COVID-19 had helped create. It is my most successful Vocal piece to date, so like a Hollywood studio rather than create fresh new material, I am hoping that a sequel will bring similar success. Cynical, I know, but to be fair I think I have enough material to work with to make at least a Godfather II and maybe even ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ - just as long as it’s a better sequel than ‘Batman and Robin’ – I’ll be happy.

A Year of Lockdown… and Great Marketing Campaigns
The past year might have dragged. But equally, it feels almost unbelievable that it’s been one year since Boris Johnson first asked us to stay at home! The mood of the country changed when bustling cities and close-knit communities retreated into isolation. Our resolves became stronger, and our working lives shifted onto Zoom calls with a dodgy internet connection. But similarly, our attitude to businesses and brands changed. We recognised those that were looking out for us during the pandemic, and our perception of essential needs changed dramatically.

This post is about lifting up talented artists, social icons, and hardworking individuals by sharing their stories and passions in order to inspire others. I wrote several introductions to this post, but not one of them felt right so I decided to keep it short and sweet.

Ten Things You Shouldn't Do Now That You're An Adult But You Do It Anyway
Growing up is never easy for anyone even though we all craved to become adults since we were at a very young age. We’d all get excited when our next birthday came and proudly told each other how old we were feeling like we were big stuff. But then adulthood actually arrives and now the things that you used to do then, you can’t really get away with it now. And if you do, you’re not looked at as an adult, but an immature child.

Black Hacks
I saw a video on Facebook the other day called Mexican Hacks. It featured a young man chronicling his experience with Mexican cultural quirks that he jokingly explained were ruining his life. It was funny, but it also made me think of all the things I do in my own home that might be labeled under the “black experience” and would be funny to share with others. So, I made my own list of black hacks--let’s call them #blahacks. Or, let’s not.
