" When I turned 30, six years ago, I decided to run the London Marathon and I did not even really train. I thought that it was not even that difficult. I completed it in 5hr 15min, I could have got closer to 4hr 30min if I had trained properly. " - Miquita Oliver

" I started listening to old music that represented Mum and us living in west London when I was younger, and delved deep: SWV, Soul II Soul, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest, Young Disciples, D’Angelo and lots of Wu Tang Clan. " - Miquita Oliver

" I’ve been going around London obsessing about people’s gardens; I take pictures on my BlackBerry. " - Miquita Oliver
