📣 Some news about me:
Yesterday (Wednesday) I was detained by police in Istanbul, held for 17 hours and then deported from Turkey to the UK. Told I was “a threat to public order”. In the country I lived in - and love.

Last night, a friend and I were robbed at gun point right outside of Towers. My first inclination isn't to go on Twitter and tweet about the situation, but honestly I'm angry and extremely terrified. As a college student, our University should be a safe place for us.

I’m always stuck between documenting my journey or hiding from the internet. There’s power in both.
