THE MAC LOGAN CERTIFICATION TO THRILL PRESENTS THE MELANIN CONFERENCE DAY AND...
HELLO EVERYONE,
I can’t believe that World Book Day and International Women’s Day have come and gone without my noticing. I think it’s because I’ve been busy and focused on attending other events.
I attended the Melanin Conference on March 7, 2026, at Trinity Church Hall, 90 Hodford Road, Golders Green, London, NW11 8EG. I really enjoyed the showcase and had the opportunity to meet a few people who were interested in learning about melanin. The entire program was focused on health and well-being. And of course, the study of the pigmentation of the skin.
There were stalls where vendors could promote their merchandise.
But this is where my story really begins.
I am a pop-up seller, and I’ve built my mini business around the pop-up business model. I sell a variety of items whenever I can. I've faced criticism from some who try to dictate my path, especially when they discover that I am also a local crime fiction novelist.
One person wandered over to my stall, intrigued by my display, and asked me, "What exactly are you selling, and how does it relate to the overall programme for the day?"
He had a point.
I wasn't a health professional, and I wasn't selling any health supplements. The fact is, I was invited by the proprietor, who was a family friend. I was also given a stall to showcase my merchandise. I normally have bags, coffee cups, key rings, openers and kids' books to name just a few.
The young man didn't want to admit that the items I had in my stall were of no use to him. Eventually, he left, taking photos of some of my goods. Sometimes I wonder what goes through the minds of potential customers who show interest in what I display and sell. You can't win them all.
The truth is this: I've always been told to be the best version of myself, regardless of the circumstances. There are no excuses—no ifs, no buts, no maybes, as my godfather would say. I might have been mistaken for bringing my wares to the Melanin Conference Day, but you know what? I have no regrets. I am a pop-up artist, and I can set up my stall anywhere to sell my goods.
I've encountered cynical individuals who tried to make my work seem peculiar. That changed when I embraced my identity as a pop-up artist and a local mystery adventure novelist with a global influence.
In conclusion, my condolences go to the family of CHUCK NORRIS, who passed away on the 19th March 2026. He was a man's man and a real American hero. In fact, a true inspiration.
Hey Gang, STAY SAFE!
NB: Remember the Rattlesnake will RETURN!
