Africans in Berkshire

Tuesdays 6pm - 7pm

"'Africans in Berkshire'
is all about what’s happening in Reading from an African view point, this also entails events taking place, success stories, people making a difference and projects available aimed at encouraging social integration and community awareness.



If you are an African living in Berkshire and have a story, I would like to hear from you.



If you are an African living in the UK with an interest in the Reading area and have a story, I would like to hear from you also. Ring me on 07882809005



Every Tuesday from 6pm; I interview Role Models, Community Leaders, Professionals, Creative Artists, Music Critics and Social Entrepreneurs who are making huge difference to the lives of others in Berkshire. I also play music from different countries in Africa and occasionally play Jazz, Salsa and a bit of oldies



"Africans in Berkshire” is not just a radio show for Africans in Berkshire, it is also a radio show for the whole community and so sometimes I interview young people in Reading who are making a difference and who are also an inspiration to other young people in the community. 

I have been a guest on BBC Radio Berkshire (on three occasions), Voice of Africa Radio in London, Smooth FM Lagos and TOP FM Lagos. I was also one of the resident poets at the 5th London Poetry Festival.

In my spare time I am also a Published Writer, Mentor and involved in Community Engagement projects.

I have written and published three books. These include:

"The Beauty in the Dark" - A collection of Poetry

"The Sound of Running Water" - A gift book of proverbs

"One Moment of Peace" - A collection of Poetry
