That’s not the sort of thing you say yes to lol. Just got back from Uganda and traveled back with the legendary Lenny henry and he ducked the label…. So it’s a label people who think it belongs to you put on you.

Presenter of TV show shown 0n 150 station across Europe, Africa, Caribbean, presenter of a radio and tv shows on airlines…I could bore you some more…
