Merci Allah for blessing me with another year of life & the best gift I could recieve is my author copy of #FreeLoavesonFridays ☀️. It couldn’t have arrived in the post at a more perfect time as I reflect on my life & my mum on my birthday. I feel like it’s a message from her 🙏🏾
The launch of #FreeLoavesOnFridays was a dream. I cried more times than I can count and was reunited with my childhood social worker. Despite decades apart she was just as I remembered. ♥️
Thank you to everyone who made the book possible. ♥️ Rebekah Pierre lemn sissay OBE FRSL
