Something truly special in the air at the Hyb ACE Cymru/ACE Hub Wales conference - perhaps a mix of passion and inspiration to make Wales #trauma-informed And incredible energy from meeting @Martine_Smith76 who is doing incredible work with communities.

Today marks 10 years since we started our life in Wales. A decade of - war and peace, - grief and joy, - longing and belonging leaving side by side. We've met wonderful people and faced challenges. We're forever grateful to Wales for becoming our home🙏🙏🙏

Excited to start #RefugeeWeek by delivering a special online language lesson. What a way to step into the shoes of #ESOL learners to experience learning a new language, followed by a discussion. Thank you to everyone who joined and to @WSMP for organising the event.

The hardest part of teaching #ESOL is saying goodbye to students who became like your family. From seeing them shy in September to watching them make friends, share sadness and joy, discover, explore, and learn to believe in themselves 💫

Proud of my supervisor's nomination at Cardiff Metropolitan University 🌟 I am who I am today because of him. He brought light and believed in me during my darkest days when I felt I was nothing. Not only passionate, knowledgeable, and supportive, but also truly inspiring! Thank you, Gabriel John Roberts 🌟

'Go Home Polish' I rarely read, but this book won my heart at the first sight. Two blocks in one cover - a photostory and collection of stories from the author's walk from Cardiff to Poland, asking people about #HOME Thank you, Michal Iwanowski, for sharing this treasure with me 📖
