Only a few days to go, and I am happy to announce I will not only be attending, the TACTYC conference, I will be one of the many Early Years voices sharing their Early Years story. #EarlyYears #BlackEducator #MenInChildcare #Equity #Diversity #Inclusion

To support National Stress Awareness Day 6th November, myself and The Early Years Company wanted to highlight the reality of stress in the Early Years Space especially for male Early Childhood Educators, where additional challenges are unfortunately very real. #StressAwareness

What an Inspiring day at the TACTYC Conference in Birmingham, Saturday. Highlights have to be the Keynotes from Dr Nathan Archer and then Dr Mary Moloney, who certainly got our attention and made us ask ourselves, who we are in the lives of young children, it was so powerful!
