51 years ago today, on July 5, 1975, Arthur Ashe became the first Black man to win a #Wimbledon singles title.

I won the Wimbledon women's singles title the same year, and we shared a dance together at the ball.

Attended the Annual Bradford Legal Service at Bradford Cathedral which brings together the judiciary, legal profession and civic representatives. A time to reflect.

On February 1, 1960, 66 years ago today, 4 Black college students sat at a whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth’s in Greensboro, NC.

In doing so, they inspired thousands to stand up and march for equality and justice.

Remembering the Greensboro Four today on the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth.

Thought for the day: ‘You never know when life might end and it’s not where you started but what you did along the way and where you ended up that matters. So pave the way for others with love joy and happiness always leaving a positive impact’ ❤️❤️

My term as High Sheriff has come to an end. It’s been a huge privilege to serve the people of West Yorkshire. Thank you to everyone who invited me to see the important work they do & for their kindness. WY has great people! Take care & I wish you all the best. ❤️

[High Sheriff @HSWestYorkshire]

Had a wonderful time celebrating Vaisakhi at the Prospect Street Gurdwara in Huddersfield. Thank you to everyone for your warm welcome, and the lovely langa prepared by the women. The food was great. I made chapatis! Thank you Balbir, Kiran, lovely to see you again.

[High Sheriff @HSWestYorkshire]

A pleasure to be at my last pass out parade of 47 new police officers at Carr Gate. They will serve across our county with enthusiasm and determination. Thank you Deputy Chief Constable, Helen and the staff for your hard work. It has been a pleasure to work with all of you.

Prism of judgement in the workplace: We are often judged for who we are and not valued for what we do.

[Billie Jean King @BillieJeanKing]

Today, I became the first woman to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the Sports Entertainment category.

Words cannot express how honored and grateful l am to receive this star.

I have so many people to thank, including the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, @MagicJohnson and Jaime Lee Curtis for their kind, inspiring, and memorable words (snap pants are the next big thing. If you know, you know, right Jaime Lee?), and all the other individuals who made this incredible day possible.

I may be the first woman to be awarded a star in this category, but l'm certainly not going to be the last.

Let's keep going for it!

A pleasure to have the very first High Sheriff I met back in 1994,
David Sutcliffe OBE, attend the Former High Sheriffs Lunch which I hosted at Leeds Combined Courts. Great to have former HS’s together along with the Lord Lieutenant, a former High Sheriff himself.

[High Sheriff @HSWestYorkshire]

Wonderful to meet fellow board members/exec of Yorkshire Forward. We came together in December 1998 & pioneered regional development led by late Lord John Prescott. Brian Greenwood, Susan Johnson, me, Sir Graham Hall, Martin Havenhand & Tom Riordan. Special time in my career
