We are so proud of our Black history young leader Marley for speaking out against the use of the book of Mice and Men used in literature as school text as racist because of its depiction of Black people. This book is now officially removed from the school curriculum in Wales. Well done Marley and other young people who spoke up 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@keeling_michael@HelenBevan@samanthallen Yes & we need to be careful what the goal is. People making lots of friends at work or being connected in a certain way is a neurotypical ideal, that’s not always a comfortable place, and we could be pushing people into discomfort in order to fit a neurotypical box
