I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Alford Gardner, one of the last surviving passengers of the Empire Windrush.
ย
I was delighted to spend some time with him last summer and hear his story. As a leading figure in the Caribbean community in West Yorkshire, he changed the lives of so many with his courage and positivity.
ย
He leaves behind a legacy for us all to be proud of and will be remembered for his warmth, his courage, and of course his unwavering love of cricket! W
Just 2 months ago for Purple Day, @catdeeley you helped raise awareness about epilepsy & still end up saying something thoughtless.
Your careless use of language has real consequences for people with epilepsy who already face so much stigma.
This is why we need more awareness!
#MothersDay is an opportunity for us to recognise the vital role mums play when a child has epilepsy. In this poem, Naomi describes the anxiety and uncertainty of looking after her son who has epilepsy.
She hopes it helps other mothers in #TeamPurple feel understood. ๐

In the 1980s, musician Daryl Davis set out to understand the Ku Klux Klan. So he started befriending members at Klan rallies and joined an all-white country band.
Then, he met Imperial Wizard Roger Kelly. Davis spent years building a relationship with Kelly, establishing trust and, eventually, a friendship.โ
They ate meals at each others' homes while Davis listened to Kelly, seeking to see how he could hate a person like Davis without even knowing him.
Eventually, Kelly started listening to Davis and left the Klan altogether, giving Davis his robes and hood. And over the past decades, Davis has now convinced over 200 former Klan members to walk away.
A child in my class created this piece of art representing dementia - he chose the theme himself. Absolutely amazing! Credit goes to the HLTA who has been teaching the unit every Thursday when Iโve been on PPA. โค๏ธ
