As a few of you may know, I have been campaigning to save Whitewebbs Park (Enfield, North London) as part of the Guardians of Whitewebbs group for some time now. It has been a place where I have found peace, even during my lowest times, and a place that has really opened my eyes to nature. 🙏🌳
In this video ( youtube.com/shorts/loHGNrwKwmw ), I share my story titled "Colour The Dark Days" for the 19th instalment of Guardians of Whitewebbs' "Whitewebbs Park: What Does It Mean To You?" series. This series is something I run for the campaign, so I thought it was about time I shared my own story too! 🌱🌈
The video features my latest release - the song and music video "Colour The Dark Days (Remix)" in collaboration with Cece Alaniz @cecealaniz . My parts of the music video are filmed in Whitewebbs. Watch the full video on our YouTube channels: https://youtu.be/2fdRydVMQcc 🎶🎥
If you would like to learn more about the campaign, a good place to start is by watching the short video I made "Whitewebbs Park - What Tottenham Hotspur and Enfield Council Don’t Want You to Know" ( https://youtu.be/0Y3J56JpU98 ). Spurs plans to build a private women's training facility adjacent to its 17-pitch men's training facility. Be sure to follow us on Instagram if you're interested @guardians.whitewebbs . 💚⚽️
The latest news in the campaign is that we've been granted permission to proceed with our judicial review, challenging the Council's decision to grant planning permission to Spurs. ⚖️🎉
I want to say thank you so much for your support, both for my music and for the campaign. Much love. 🥰💜

I'm so excited for the release!!! @MizeroMusicNow Again, I truly love how you have interpreted my beat with Shima's vocals! It means the world that my music moved you to make this. You have made such a thought-provoking and moving track, reflecting on the concept of wealth and knowledge. We can be presented with resources, but we must choose to use them. I resonated with the repetition of phrases like "we can make it a new day", which for me, reinforces a message of hope and transformation. The way you sing this phrase hits deep in my soul. We can make the world a better place; we are who we choose to be; become the change you want to see in the world... This teaser clip of the video reflects the track beautifully too, as does the cover art for the song. I can't wait to watch the full video on February 18th, let's go! Thank you ever so much for this project. Much love, my friend. You're a star! 😍☀🌅💛🧡

'Colour The Dark Days (Remix)' - my song and music video with Cece Alaniz @cecealaniz - is out now! Watch and listen on our YouTube channels ( https://youtu.be/2fdRydVMQcc ) and on all streaming platforms ( open.spotify.com/track/0melpyVPlAsN5tLkRcJOCJ?si=B… ). 🎥🌈💜
It's in the style of cinematic art pop, electronica and indie, and written about emerging from a period of depression and anxiety, regaining confidence, taking time to 'Colour The Dark Days', and creating something beautiful from dark experiences. 🌲🌊🌼
