Wonderful to hear Marcus Rashford speak out about children because every child’s wellbeing matters and they must always be in the forefront of policy decision making #childhoodlastsalifetime ❤️

As I said to the Minister during House of Lords oral questions, we need more statues and monuments to recognise the contributions made by people of colour #BlackLivesMatter Meral Hussein-Ece Operation Black Vote

Thank you University of Exeter for giving me the most wonderful 10yrs of my life. It’s so joyful to celebrate those memories on #WindrushDay and looking back at the unveiling of my statue has given the biggest smile. Who would have thought!❤️

Odd one out? The only named living black woman to have a public sculpture. - William Cuffay, 1788-1870 - Mary Seacole, 1805-81 - Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, 1875-1912 - Claudia Jones, 1915-64 - Olive Morris, 1952-79 - Jack Leslie, 1901-88 - Floella Benjamin 1949 -

I've just submitted my resume as it would be a great project to be involved with. But better still for a black sculptor? That would give the project gravitas. I'd be happy to support or mentor?

This is such frighteningly worrying news for our #creativeindustries, it could have a domino effect. #Arts and #culture is food for the soul so must not be abandoned and left in the wilderness. Royal Exchange Theatre Oliver Dowden
