What connects our historical & cultural experiences? How do we overcome colonial traumas and reclaim dignity?

David was an optimist. Idealism should be our compass and pragmatism the map.
Thank you @pressgazette for letting us accept his award for 'Public Service Journalism' on his behalf, and for letting me say a few words.
His trophy sits proudly on his desk.

Thank you @EditorsUK for naming @Telegraph's 'Ukraine: The Latest' their 'Podcast of the Year.'
It was a happy but bittersweet moment, as @DomNicholls and I felt someone was missing up there on stage.
David, wherever you are: this one's for you.
David Knowles’s corner appeared at @PenUkraine space in Kyiv. We frequently speak about David before our events, sharing his story with Ukrainian guests and foreign delegates alike. David was a reliable friend and talented journalist. We miss you deeply, @djknowles22 💔
A moving tribute to David Knowles by his family, friends and colleagues. You are missed very much, dear friend. Rest in peace

The interview that was never meant to be seen, I only publish this so you can hear the voice of @djknowles22 once more, have cut most of my crappy responses to his most excellent questions.
You were forever the professional David.
R.I.P.
Our first Twitter dialogue was in April 2022. Then we met several times in Kyiv and were mostly all the time in touch during these 2,5 years. I scrolled today all our talks and listened to all the audios. Can’t and don’t want to believe, my friend @djknowles22
