IWD- "women don't negotiate their salary enough"
Just days after International Women's Day - we're hearing that women in the UK aren't negotiating their salaries as much as they should be- contributing to the gender pay gap.
A survey has found that women in London are more likely to negotiate their salary, while women in the North East are least likely to- but why this big difference regionally? I've been looking into it!

Wassailing in Wiltshire with Naomi Styles
(from Podcast 'Behind the Headlines' episode 27/01/25)
Wassailing is alive and well in Wiltshire, and being integrated into the county identity even further thanks to Naomi Styles, who secured funding from DEFRA for new community orchards.
Coming from a musical family and wanting to keep folk practices alive, she's composed wassailing songs based around life in Wiltshire to sing at the celebrations that celebrate the trees, hope for a good harvest, and hark back centuries.
I've chatted with her about what drew her to put so much heart into this project.

The unseen struggles of faceblindness
This is a package I made around Christmas-time 2024, thinking about the challenges that seasonal celebrations bring to people with face-blindness.

How likely are you to recognise people you work with when they're not in their normal office wear, or those cousins that are now grown up?

Giving art a Queer voice
“It started out as a participant project about queer language and cataloguing,” Roma says “The Whitworth’s collection is a really Victorian collection and I think that allows for thinking about things across time, I think it also gives a language for people who aren’t queer to understand what it means to read things queerly."
The Whitworth gallery has over 60,000 works in it’s collection, some of which are from 1470 and relate to queer culture..
