@Georgia_Gould @uclh Hope you get better soon. Also, huge congrats on being awarded an OBE!

I had an inspiring day at the @wearenewlocal Stronger Things conference at Guildhall Art Gallery. So much inspiration and ideas to take back to engage communities and listen to voices unheard. Great insights from @Georgia_Gould, @MsIbegbuna, and many speakers. #StrongerThings

I was honoured to attend a special Service of Dedication for the Order of the British Empire in St Paul's Cathedral in London today, led by King Charles and Queen Camilla. Lovely service and great to network with fellow honours holders.

BREAKING: Camden Council really did hear our voice tonight!

Unanimous support for Care Experience to be treated as a Protected Characteristic as motion passes @CamdenCouncil

With a fantastic speech from @lemnsissay and others with private heartwarming speeches from care leavers in the mayor's parlour. Thank you Camden for your support @ccwild79

[Camden Council @CamdenCouncil]

A very proud moment for Camden as we now recognise care experience as a locally protected characteristic!

Alongside this, we're also providing free Wi-Fi to Camden carer leavers up to 25yrs to further support those with care experience 💻

[Camden Council @CamdenCouncil]

Big news! Following a debate at Full Council, we've agreed to award those with care experience in Camden protected characteristic status 👏

Free wifi will also be provided to care leavers up to 25!

This means more support for those in care and those who have care experience 🤍

[Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk]

Thanks to the generosity of Londoners, over 20,000 children woke up to a Christmas present they may have otherwise not received. A huge thank you to everyone who donated to the Met Christmas Tree Appeal 2023 and raised an incredible £68,000 🙌

[Mayor of Camden @mayorofcamden]

I was thrilled to connect with some amazing individuals from our Council team and the #MetropolitanPolice who have generously contributed to my Christmas Toy Appeal!

Grateful for their support and excited about spreading joy this festive season.

[Esther Fajoye MBE @esther_faj]

Another year where over 200 vulnerable children and families received toys, gifts & books donated to the @mayorofcamden Christmas toy appeal in @CamdenCouncil. Thank you also to the @metpoliceuk for donations. Social workers & family workers have been distributing to families.

This week, I enjoyed hosting the Camden Progression Network Celebration. The 2nd anniversary celebrating race equality work in Camden. Amazing evening hearing stories on people's career progressions, tackling underrepresentation, imposter syndrome, and just inspiring people!

This was such a moving watch! Very brave stories told by those fostered. Some of trauma and some of love and acceptance, the impact on their identity and life experiences. #WhiteNannyBlackChild
