Join us and @drmirandakaufmann.bsky.social as she peels back the polished veneer of Britain's Georgian elite to reveal fortunes built on Caribbean slavery, and examines the women whose wealth and status were tied to the enslaved economy. Book here: www.history.org.uk/events/calen...

“Kindness is needed in life not just in death.” - a vital reminder from Professor Jason Arday’s family. I was unfortunately unable to join the vigil in London on Monday but I have just watched and listened to the powerful and moving speeches, songs and the statement from the family in full… 1/2

Wonderful to finally see Shibden Hall, home of Anne Lister #gentlemanjack🎩 - amongst other things a shrewd businesswoman like the women in #Heiresses. Also discovered a branch of the #Lister family went out to #Virginia…

I’ve noticed a creepy phenomenon since publishing my second book #Heiresses that was not a thing back when #BlackTudors came out in 2017. I get these weird sucky-up emails that must have been written by AI claiming they will get the book the audience it deserves… anyone else get this?

Was a pleasure to speak about #Heiresses @bridportarts.bsky.social with @malikalnasir.bsky.social - author of “Searching For My Slave Roots” and @paullashmar.bsky.social author of “Drax of Drax Hall“. So many synergies between our work. And some fascinating insights from the audience too…

It was lovely to be in conversation with Leslie Primo @nationalgalleryuk.bsky.social recently - especially as they have Zoffany’s portrait of my #Heiresses cover girl - Mrs Oswald - & paintings previously owned by the Watson Taylors from Chapter 9. Interview by Jelena Sofronijevic of Empire Lines.

Backstage shot of our wonderful panel Birmingham Lit Fest yesterday- a really thought provoking discussion with Casey Bailey @corinnefowler.bsky.social & Malachi McIntosh on the theme of Colonial Countryside - how do we tell colonial stories in the houses that are scattered across the country?
