For this year’s International Women’s Day I’m thrilled to be launching a new campaign, #CirclesOfChange, with the global feminist organisation I founded @TheCircleNGO
COVID-19 has set back years of progress made in gender equality. There has never been a more important time to stand shoulder to shoulder with women everywhere. If you feel like getting involved and connected please join in!

Tell us about the people who inspire you and take a pledge to stand in solidarity with women and girls around the world.
It is very easy – simply pick a pledge card from The Circle website (or choose your own) - upload it to social media - tag the inspiring people in your life - nominate them to do the same and then take your pledge. Remember to follow and tag @thecirclengo.

And on 8th March, join me and others for a very special #IWD2021 event.

Find lots more information at www.thecircle.ngo (link in bio)

All is well! No side effects whatsoever!
Thanks to all the amazing people who have made the Moderna Covid 19 vaccination possible!
I’ll still follow all the guidelines - Wear a mask outside - socially distance and frequently hand wash.

I’ve been inoculated against diseases such as polio, typhoid, tetanus, diphtheria and smallpox ..throughout my life and I’m SO grateful to not to had to go through the ravages of preventable disease. I consider this vaccine to be a privilege.

I do NOT want to catch Corona 19 virus and end up in hospital on a ventilator, as so many hundreds of thousands of people have tragically departed.
Neither do I want to have to live with the effects of ‘Long Covid’ or ‘Post Covid’ as it’s termed in the US.
Debilitating exhaustion, brain fog, chest pains, swollen joints etc..

Thank you to the U.S. Biden Administration for the roll out of the Moderna vaccine! I was just given my 2nd shot today at Dodgers stadium! So grateful to everyone who’s taking part in this massive initiative to protect millions of people from becoming seriously I’ll with Covid 19 !

Forgive me...
A sobering truth...
An illustration from National Geographic depicting a line of caskets stretched out end to end, representing the 500,000 Covid -19 death toll in the United States.
It would cover 645 miles.. the distance between New York and Indianapolis.
The figure is 25% more than the U.S. military death toll of the 2nd World War.
Those hardest hit communities have the lowest vaccination rates. Black people between the ages of 35 and 44 are dying at nine times the rate of white people the same age.
One in 475 Indigenous Americans
One in 645 African Americans
One in 835 White Americans
One in 835 Latino Americans
and One in 1,320 Asian Americans have been killed by the coronavirus according to the APM Research Lab.
Protect yourselves - Get vaccinated!

Claude Debussy composed ‘La Mer’ between 1903 and 1905.
The work was first recorded in 1928, ten years after his death.
It strikes me just how much we take recorded music for granted..Imagine that Debussy never heard one of the thousands of recordings from his collection of masterpieces..
This one’s by the London Symphony orchestra!

It was wonderful to take part in the concert for Tibet House New York yesterday!
All the artists were fantastic and three hours flowed by so beautifully with heart and soul!
So I just wanted to post this sweet picture with my dear friend Anj Rinchen Khandro from back in 2016, when I was honoured to receive the Livjngstone Medal from the Royal Scottish Geographical Society in Edinburgh.
Although I don’t subscribe to any religion I’ve always been drawn to Buddhist philosophy, which always speaks volumes in terms of inspirational responses to the human dilemma of being alive on the planet!

I grew up listening to @carole_king ‘s incredible songs. They formed part of the ‘jukebox’ in my head and I treasure them all.
So what an absolute pleasure and joy it has been to have the opportunity to record a version of ‘Tapestry’ in her honour! I hope you enjoy this performance! (Link in my bio to watch the full song and event. 53:57 on the player)
