Excited to have been shortlisted for @WIJ_UK’s Georgina Henry Awards. ✨

The award spotlights the “brightest new ideas” from women working in UK journalism. 💡

Humbled to have made the five-person shortlist for my Media Toolkit for Journalists and Care Experienced People. 📘👇

@sophiassocials @CELCIStweets Omg congrats! This has been a huge work in the making so super duper well done.

[Sophia Alexandra Hall @sophiassocials]

[@CELCIStweets blog extract]: “There’s a lot of pride in my voice when I tell people I’m a journalist. 💬

“But I wasn’t always the biggest fan of mainstream news outlets, particularly due to their portrayal of children in care.” 👪

[Emi Nietfeld @eminietfeld]

Conversations about cutting ties with family members are usually littered with caveats: that it’s a complicated decision, a last resort, invariably painful and fraught. Some liken the choice to “losing a limb,” or being “orphaned.”

Not for me.

I was invited to Parliament this year & used some of my savings to buy a brand new outfit.

It was a special occasion. I never thought I'd experience this so I wanted to treat myself....

Stop telling working class people how to spend their own money 🙄

[Rebekah Pierre @RebekahPierre92]

Can we stop the culture of expecting people to speak about lived experience for free?

Was approached on LinkedIn at 11pm with a keynote request. A polite “Is this a paid opp” was met with “If this is a deciding factor then…”. Would you ask a builder, teacher, hairdresser 🧵

[Who Cares? Scotland @whocaresscot]
