Afternoon off & I’ve been down a Stephen Port rabbit hole. I actually can’t comprehend the ineptitude & lack of care. Those poor men & their families deserved so much better.

I wish we talked about how chronic pain in the body can be from the hurt and betrayal from the people in our past.

The body remembers.

We've been fortunate w. a great venue who've been flexible in extending deadlines til tomorrow.

If you're still hoping to book, pls do asap.

Thanks to all who've booked already.🙏eventbrite.co.uk/e/county-lines…

I actually would love to see more skills swap & bartering. Cost saving & community building!

I’m pleased to see Peer Power sharing their journey to building an anti-racist organisation. There’s a lot of orgs that use the language without doing the work.

Join us for a powerful evening exploring the safekeeping of Black Girls!🤎

Language & accountability matter, going hand in hand. I do hope that The Booker Prizes recognise that the obfuscation of the language is harmful & disingenuous despite any good intentions with the statement.

How often have you heard young people described as being 'known to services' by people who don't know them at all?

In our latest TheInnovateProject paper we argue why this matters and why we should stop doing it if we really want to be trauma-informed 👇🏾

I wonder if a moustache 🥸 is essential?!

St George’s day is a real celebration of Britain’s multiculturalism. St George, was born in Turkey and grew up Palestine. So nice to see so many people proudly flying their flag in support of Britain’s tapestry of identity. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Happy St George’s Day & if you don’t want to celebrate that, celebrate my birthday instead 🎈

31 years ago today, Black teenager Stephen Lawrence, 18, was murdered in a racist attack in South-East London. He was killed on the streets of Britain for being Black.

This poem by Josephine Corcoran impacted me since I first read it.
RIP #StephenLawrence

Tracking down vulnerable people (even if they’ve committed crimes), after watching TV programmes about them to mock & harass them is reprehensible.

Anyone doing this, sharing posts or engaging with this harassment in any way needs to stop #BabyReindeer
