A topic close to my heart also, Black women. We are worthy. We deserve respect, rest and love that is not contingent upon our labour. I will be presenting my paper in person at the JUSWAC conference. Details below and I look forward to seeing you.

Babies of Black mums are 81% more likely to die in neonatal care, an NHS study shows. The research showed ‘how existing biases and injustices in society are reflected in clinical settings, disproportionately affecting women and babies.’https://t.co/7ZP7HEKUVh

Labour has cancelled my Conference Pass.

Absolutely pathetic, Trumpian behaviour.

They are here suggesting that attempts to question Cabinet members and MPs about Britain facilitating Israel's genocide is a "safeguarding issue".

This is clearly insane.

A nominee of the Social Work Awards has been put in the difficult position of having to publicly decline a @socialworkaward on ethical grounds. Aren't nominees informed in advance so they have the option to consent to being publicly named in the Awards' promo material?

5yo Mason needs to find a matching stem cell donor to treat a rare blood disorder which puts him at risk from life-threatening bacterial infections. He has Bajan/St Lucian & British heritage makes it even harder to find a match. Hope someone can help 🙏🏾 https://t.co/K7EJ1vV0bg

Gentrification has got me reflecting on black impermanence. Our communities are in constant states of flux through forced migratory patterns. What strengths could be emerging from a life deprived of rootedness; a life that mandates riding the coattails of the wind?

If you are a Black teenage mother reading this, I strongly urge you to print out this story in its entirety and ensure your son or daughter reads it.

This narrative highlights a significant issue of racially motivated punishment. It’s essential for Black children to understand the dynamics at play, as they often extend goodwill to those from other races. Use this story as a crucial tool to make them aware of these realities.
