5 Ways Gardening Helped Me Reset 🍃

I don’t want to come off as too philosophical, but in this season of change, Autumn 2025 feels like a hard reset.

I’ve slowed down a lot this year, not only to embrace my new role as a wife, but also to re-focus, be intentional and prioritise the things that really matter to me.

As someone who once hated the idea of gardening but ironically could appreciate a well-kept one… Maintaining my garden over the summer slowed me down even more. It brought me unexplainable joy in a heavy season that often felt like everyone and everything was coming for me.

Although painfully inconvenient at times, I understand that change is necessary and is the only guaranteed thing in life. Isn’t that the reason seasons exist?

My garden reminded me that growth doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like resting, watering and trusting the process.

If you’re a believer of the Bible, you’ll know the first job given to a human was that of a glorified gardener, Adam was the CEO of Eden. It’s only this year that I’ve truly grasped the weight of that. Intentionally making nature part of our lives and routines is transformational.

Watching my flowers bloom into their full potential became the reset I didn’t know I needed.

If you’ve landed on my feed, this is your reminder to keep watering your tiny seeds, embrace fresh air and remember: you don’t need to wait for a new year to reset. It can happen whenever, wherever.

"Gosh, I have never seen anything so directly tailored to my interests."

Just one of many kind messages I've received for my latest @BBCMorningLive film - 'Cats for Autistic People'.

It truly means a lot when concepts I pitch resonate with audiences and is able to give a voice to those who sometimes struggle to express the things that matter most to them.

Thank you to all the wonderful contributors involved - Jack, Cat Noir, Grandad Kevin, Roxanne Hawkins and to the crew - Matthew Wenham and Dimitri Michael 🎬

#autismawareness #autism #cats #bbc #morninglive

Tune into @BBCMorningLive today from 9.30am on @bbcone and @bbciplayer to catch my latest commissioned film: Cats for Autistic People.

As a proud cat mom of two, this film is a bittersweet one - this month marks 4 years since my cat Moses was killed in a hit and run. Losing him was devastating, but it deepened my appreciation of the comfort, grounding and companionship cats bring.

As an autistic person, I’ve noticed many of us connect deeply with cats, maybe because of their calming presence, independence and their divaish nature to want TLC on their own terms.That got me wondering: could cats offer a unique kind of emotional support that traditional therapy or even other animals can’t?

Whether you’re autistic, a cat lover or both; give it a watch, I'd love to hear your thoughts! (Timecode 1:01:47)

I was beyond humbled when I received an email inviting me to be featured as one of the changemakers in the 2025 Birmingham Portrait Exhibition by @proudlyframeworthy

Never imagined I’d be standing here with my portrait painted, but here we are!

From my debut in children’s literature at 16 to my ongoing commitment to inclusive storytelling in film and TV, I’ve been told my work isn’t just making a real-world difference... It’s worth celebrating for others to witness.

There have been plenty of opportunities I could’ve taken, ones that might’ve fast-tracked my career, gained me millions of followers or led me to “success” by the world’s standards. But I chose to stay true to my mission: telling stories that serve a genuine purpose. If that means not being in the industry “in-crowds” or not having the sexiest looking career, so be it.

A huge thank you to the artist behind my portrait.

To those who support and champion my work, I see you and appreciate you.

And above all, thank you Jesus for blessing me with creative gifts that bless others.

I’m officially Frameworthy. PERIOOODT.

A HUGE thank you for all the kind messages and support for my latest film 'Dementia Diaries' for @bbcmorninglive - it truly means the world🙏🏾

We often talk about dementia, but hearing directly from those living with it changes everything.

This film is deeply personal. Both my Nans were diagnosed with dementia, and I’ve kept journals since I was a child.

When I discovered a connection between writing and memory, I knew I had to explore it on screen.

I hope this story offers comfort, insight, or just a moment of reflection.

Please share or tag someone who might connect with it.

This one was close to my heart as both my Nan's were diagnosed with dementia.

Journalling has been something I have done since I was a child and when I discovered research showing a potential link between how writing can help Dementia, I couldn't wait to share.

I really hope it helps someone.

Thank you to all the wonderful contributors involved - Gail, George and Steve from Dementia Diaries and to the crew behind the scenes who made this happen - Sam and Peter🎬

Representation shapes reality. In the UK, studies show 93% of Black individuals face hair discrimination. Children's books have the power to inspire confidence and challenge stereotypes.

This #worldbookday , let's celebrate stories that empower hair in all its beauty - shapes, styles and sizes.

Yesterday, I made my BBC One presenting debut on @bbcmorninglive, exploring the connection between autism and music.

I was so excited to pitch this film concept and see it commissioned. As an autistic person, music has been instrumental in helping me cope in daily life, particularly in social situations.

To mark Autism Awareness Month, here's a reflection piece I wrote for Broadcast @broadcastnow_mbi

'Autism is NOT an on-screen entertainment fix.

When we consider fictional characters like The Big Bang Theory’s - Sheldon Cooper, Wednesday from the Addams Family or one-off unscripted format’s like The
Assembly, there is a trap of only being comfortable with a comically curated and produced concept of autism; overlooking the trivialised lived realities when the cameras stop rolling.'

I said what I said.

Rewinding back a few months ago to this career milestone moment where I accepted the Royal Television Society Midlands @rtsmidscentre - 'Diversity Champion' Award for my documentary 'Too Autistic For Black'.

It's one thing being diagnosed with autism, but to stand on stage in a room of famous faces and respected TV industry names and say 'I'M PROUD' was satisfyingly liberating.

In honour of World Autism Acceptance Week / Autism Awareness Month be unapologetically proud in saying 'I'm autistic'. Say it louder for the people in the back📣

Massive shoutout to my amazing PT of 3 years - @tcfit_liam - who has seen me through my first half marathon, new fitness goals, improved nutrition as well as personal challenges. My fitness journey has been life changing and, at times, has SAVED my mental health.

It's a privilege to be a part of the TCFit community.

Glad to be an example, not the exception💪🏾.

I haven't written a blog post in 2 years but the recent passing of Uncle Benjamin Zephaniah left me deeply saddened that I needed to write it out.

When mainstream publishers ignored me, it was trailblazers like Mr Z who took the time out to write me letters when I was 16 years old, read and big up my book - 'Snow Black, the Seven Rastas and Other Short Stories', and encourage me to be confident in my pen game.

He went onto read my book many times, saying 'There is nothing like it.'

I’m incredibly humbled to have met such a trailblazer and multi-talented British household name. Mr Z, your legacy will surely outlive you, the selflessness you took to give me the time of day will never be forgotten, our shared interest of Japanese culture will always make me smile and our commonality of being neurodivergent will remind me that we were born to see the world more creatively.

Thank you and rest well.

Not many things take me by surprise anymore, I've learned to treat people and go into situations with zero expectations... as a result, the outcome has led to zero disappointments and an indescribable contentment.

On Friday 24 November, I attended the Royal Television Society Midlands Awards with the same mindset. I thought, 'I'm having date night with my Dad', it's not often he gets the opportunity to attend industry events like this with me because he works tirelessly around the clock to look after his family. I beamed with joy to see him in his suit and was proud that he could sit next to me to enjoy an evening of entertainment, good content and an insight into the incredible work our regional production companies, talent and freelancers have to offer in the TV industry.

So when the Diversity Champion nominations were shown, I watched each highlight reel obviously excited just to see my work being shown to a room of some of the most seasoned TV industry pros and also thinking what a strong category, it literally could be anyone's game!

Then came the winner announcement...👀

What looks like to most people a string of achievements under my belt. This "overnight" perception has been almost a decade of discipline and TO BE CONTINUED.

2014 I was a BBC Radio apprentice, 2020 I was nominated for my 1st RTS Award and 2023 I win an RTS Award. How I got here hasn't been linear but I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has contributed to me becoming who I am today.

Nikki was one of the first broadcasters to have me on her radio show when I was 16-years-old and until this day has consistently supported and championed my work at every given opportunity. For that I am forever grateful🙏🏾 She has been a family household media figure that I grew up listening to and admiring. Thank you for being a broadcasting HERO, even when you didn't know it, young, impressionable listeners like me were looking up to you.

You can listen back to the full interview discussing my latest short documentary #TooAutisticForBlack on @discoveryplusuk with Nikki Tapper on @bbcwm / @bbcsounds (09.10.22)

Can't believe I'm writing this... my short documentary 'Too Autistic For Black' dropped TODAY on @discoveryplusuk - also streaming now on www.discoveryplus.com [LINK IN BIO]

This one's dear to me, not only because it represents a career milestone of being my 10th TV / digital commission, not only because I get to share a black perspective that is often unspoken... but because for the first time most of you will hear me reveal my brain works a bit differently... "don't worry I'm still Tee Cee"😊

I don’t see autism as a disorder, its a condition... it's given me the ability to see the world a different way, to respond unconventionally and be the NOT YOUR AVERAGE individual I am. It's taken me years to be okay with not fitting in, sometimes being misunderstood and EVEN have the courage to hold my hands up and say "Look y'all I don't have my sh*t together all the time."🤣

As much as I don't like chatting my business, I realised this isn't about me and I had to get out of my own way and use my God given gift to spotlight an important topic.

Incredibly thankful for this opportunity, the amazing people I got to work with at Warner Bros. Discovery @wbd , meeting other black and autistic people for the first time and hopefully the many viewers watching that it can impact.

Life is too short to hide from who you really are. This is me, if you like me great and if not TOUGH😘

Enjoy!
