No better post to start with then a snippet of the animation resource that I created with SEEN, a @barnardos.bsky.social initiative, and Shenny Animation Studio.

A joyful way for Early Years Educators and settings to be introduced to my work around anti -racist practice

Yesterday I celebrated my swansong with family & friends at my book
launch. Huge thanks to all those who attended who were aged 2.5 years to a few in the upper mature ranges. We had a lovely time being shown round Mary Hare Primary School for the Deaf who so generously hosted the launch.

I wtote this back in 2022 for @earlyed-uk.bsky.social. Although the theme for BHM 2025 is Standing Firm in Power and Pride, the underlying sentiments I wrote about remain ✊🏽🖤 birthto5matters.org.uk/2022/10/10/b...

This week is Recycle Week. To celebrate @sirenfilms.bsky.social released a film about sustainability with @laurahallain.bsky.social at @grovenursery.bsky.social
I was moved by how Sarah and @eyfsclaire.bsky.social talk about how racial justice is part of it
Beautiful.

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

Nice mention in @huffpost.co.uk

“For clarity: you are not labelling a child racist. You are naming the behaviour and language used as racist and this matters when we are talking about embedding a culture of belonging and value in an early years setting,”

Love, love, love this blog @emmaturner75.bsky.social especially this part : “If I am asked to deliver a keynote or to work with any large group of colleagues on an element of training, I dread the request for my “slides to be sent in advance”. How can I do this? I need to read the room…”
