I’m currently making a short documentary film on Suicide in Young Men! If you are interested in contributing on the taboo subject as someone who has considered it or a loved one left-behind, please send me a private message via www.facebook.com/kevinmaxwell.uk or tweet me @kevin-maxwell.
Even IF @BarackObama doesn’t win US Presidency, he’s still MY hero! He’s done more for black, gay people than realises!
Make that TWO. On the 18 December 2012, I’ll be the other one – strangely? This has been a… astonishing, ‘View from the Bottom’. Take care, Max x. Live Healthy, Laugh Often & Love Yourself! Published by My Mum. Copyright © Kevin Maxwell Film, Media & Performance 2012.
I want to be a Policeman! That was my dream when I was 5, 10, 15 and 20. Three years later, it became a reality. When you were younger, what did you want to be and are you it now? This has been a… down memory lane, ‘View from the Bottom’. Take care, Max x.…
Earlier this year, the Labour MP Diane Abbott made comments about Divide & Rule which to her defence I believe were taken out of context. Mainly because, I don’t think for one moment that she is racist. So, why am I writing about this now? Well, her comments generally resonated with me – not that…
New York… concrete jungle where dreams are made of.
For some time now, I’ve been getting emails from banks I’m with asking me to ‘log-in’ to my account online for a number of reasons… irregular transactions, confirmation of this and confirmation of that. As much as I wanted to I resisted, and especially when the emails had many spelling mistakes and awfully designed layouts!…
I heard on Friday gone, that the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police was holding one of his regular webchats where members of the public and staff could ask him questions about Scotland Yard. I’ve written over the past couple of years since I started my blog that, he has ignored me with regards to my…
I can remember 21 years ago having not long turned a teenager that, I held my newest niece in my arms trying to not drop her on the floor. How time flies? Tiasha, the first child of my sibling before me was the cutest child ever. She was a child who lit-up a room when…
I know I’ve said it about 100 times, but I don’t watch soap operas. I’m still of the belief that Ethel & Willy are in Eastenders, Mavis & Rita run the corner shop in Coronation Street and Bobby & Sheila are in Brookside close. However, along with my documentaries and films I’m hooked on Dallas…
As someone with a Scottish surname (Maxwell) and a Gaelic first name (Kevin), I believe I qualify for this particular blog! For most of my adult life, I have been very much interested in politics although I’ve never been a member of any party and tend to vote for what is right for me and…
I only watch films, comedies and documentaries on television, but didn’t think I’d ever watch the former about football. Well, I have been nicely surprised. For the past two weeks, I’ve been watching Being: Liverpool on Channel 5. It’s a fly on the wall documentary series, with unprecedented camera access to Liverpool Football Club. Not…
A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate to have tuned-in on the right day to a local radio station as one of the guests was the legendary justice and equality champion Dick Gregory. Although Dick was born in 1932 in America (four years before my mum actually), it is food for thought that in…
I can remember this day in 1998 the month after I started university in Manchester, the murder of Matthew Shepard who died on October 12 at the young age of 21 near Laramie, Wyoming, USA. His death was as a result of his sexuality, being tortured because he was gay. On this yet another anniversary…
Last week, I had a meeting with the NHS‘ Cancer does not discriminate campaign in London – which aims to raise awareness of the illness within the BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) community, giving people a voice. The meeting was excellent actually, with the director and I having much in common. I managed to get…
I’ve just heard Tina Turner’s What’s Love Got To Do With It on the radio, and it reminded me of my trip to the theatre a couple of weeks ago with one of my closest friends Sara – it was a treat, from her of course. We went to see Soul Sister at the Savoy…
