@jahnavi_harrison A full circle surreal moment, coming back to @middlesexuniversity to receive an honorary doctorate yesterday! Many years ago I missed my graduation to go on tour - jumping from an English degree into suitcases and sound checks. Somehow that decision symbolised a fork in the road and choosing an unconventional path (especially because I had no plan!) - and I often doubted my choices over the years. It was humbling to receive so much encouragement yesterday from the creative teaching faculty and graduating class of 2026, and cheer them all on as they celebrated their achievements ❤️ Thank you everyone for your kind words and love! This isn’t a PhD but a really special honour and I’m very grateful! Thank you @anandamonet for these photos!! ❤️
