You can call me “Cee”. I have two daughters, Kid 1 and Kid 1+1. I live in London. I can often be found over on Instagram. I am also a writer. So, I blog…about anything really, but mainly about parenting and my life. And I rep for Black, British Motherhood 💛

hey, it's world afro day 👨🏾‍🦱 And this

hey, if this doesn't make me sort it out, i don't

hey, where do you consider "home"? 🤷🏾‍♀️

It's a big question for a Monday morning, isn't it? 🧐

Despite having lived in the UK for 50 years, my parents have always referred to Nigeria as home. I grew up doing the same, although I was born and raised in England and have only ever spent a collective total of about 6 months in Nigeria across the span of my life. Funny, isn't it? 🙃

The concept of home is not a simple one. Is home a constant or does it change? Is home inherited or can you decide where it is for you? Can home be somewhere that you have never physically been? Is home truly where the heart is? 🖤

Having immigrant parents has meant that I have always had this dual-identity: I am British and I am Black African, Nigerian to be precise. And, I am constantly reminded that I am not completely British. Every diversity monitoring form I complete asks for ethnicity information. Even if I chose to classify myself as Black British, I would still have to state whether I'm African or Caribbean. It's such a blanket approach, that, luckily, works for me, but I wonder how many it doesn't work for? I guess I should be grateful that I have a specific tick box. There are many who simply fall under the "other" category...🙃

Anyway, while I'm wondering, this tee celebrates the diversity of the African and Caribbean diaspora in the UK. Due to space, we could only include 15 countries on it. Which ones have we missed? 🤔 @heyisthatmeshop
