For years I struggled with binge eating and for years I thought it was a strange character flaw of mine that I would keep secret for a long time, until I decided enough was enough.

I’ve had the honour to highlight BED and it’s affect on black women for the brilliant publication Black Ballad. Please visit www.blackballad.co.uk to read my full feature.
