Something I’m trying to get better at:

When someone tells you that you’ve hurt them with something you’ve said or done, hear them out fully before responding. It might have been unintentional on your part, but that doesn’t make it any less painful to the other person.

[Kiran Kaur @KiranNotKeiran]

So like, sometimes I write 👀💁🏽‍♀️

But honestly, this is something I'm super passionate about and will be spending more time unpacking this year.

Bubbles are meant to be popped. It's the nature of them.

(That sentence will make way more sense if you've read the blog 🙄)

Super excited for 2020 & beyond.

The biggest thing gained from this was clarity and peace of mind. The noise literally all stopped and that is something we almost don't notice anymore because we're always plugged in to everything.

To be in it but not of it, that's the key.

[GirlDreamer @its_GirlDreamer]

GUESS WHO'S BAAAACK?! 👀😋

It's been such an epic (almost) two months away but we are super ready to get back in & unfold a dreamy future! 💭

We won't share too much just yet, but lots will be happening & changing here at GD. Stay tuned folks & thank you for sticking around! 💜

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

As a father, I only see a father in this picture like me, and a daughter like my own. Let this be a moment for all of us to reflect. Praying for his wife and remaining 3 daughters including his newborn to find comfort and peace in these difficult times. #KobeBryant

[Sara 🐅 @saraboed]

So heartbreaking. My heart and prayers are with Vanessa, the girls and his family. This is absolutely devastating. 💔

Loved working with ⁦@beatfreeks⁩ on Brum Youth Trends!

Go and read the report! https://t.co/tRuKSZP4sd

[Beatfreeks @beatfreeks]

In the words of one of our 2019 BAIT cohort (mentored by @rrobinson72) "ROGER, YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND!"

If you haven't had the pleasure of reading 'A Portable Paradise', now is the perfect opportunity. And we envy you - you get to discover it for the first time.

Congrats Roger!

💥 We've REBRANDED 💥

Its always a scary thought to rebrand, but after much consideration, conversations with other trans & non binary individuals we decided to take out the word "women" working towards creating an EQUAL safe space for all.
