Greetings from Liverpool. I asked one of the questions at the Reith Lecture here (which I hope doesn't end up on the cutting room floor), and had the pleasure of being photographed with you and someone else. May I have the promised copy please?

Ten years after first enjoying @ReemKelani, I was treated to the pleasure of her wisdom, artistry, activism and resistance of Palesinians through song. And dining with her and her husband, and learning so much more. Paradise revisited.
