I cannot stress the importance of ensuring you have books that your children are represented in, right from EYFS. Books with Black children as main characters. Books that celebrate Afro hair. Books where they get to see people that look like them in a positive light. It matters.

I’m looking for someone to come in and deliver anti racism training (primary school in London). Does anyone have any recommendations? @BlackMenTch @blackteachersco @BTN_community

@MissC_1717 It’s so horrid being ill in the holidays. I hope you feel better soon! X

The fact that it’s even close! There are some deeply, deeply unwell people in America. Given the choice between someone highly educated, with experience in all three branches of government, you’re voting for the racist??? The misogynist??? The literal criminal??? Truly unhinged
