For the record I didn’t vote Labour in the mayoral / assembly elections I voted Green because I don’t vote for parties that support genocide and starving children. Maybe the media should engage with these concerns rather than dog whistling

Another day, another “they’re only 4, how hard can it be?” Jibe. After >30 years of being dismissed, referred to as a “hysterical naysayer” and “The Early years Mafia” it’s fairly tiresome. Thank goodness the majority of people who actually work with children #RespectEarlyYears

Non-Black folks raising black or mixed- black children, need to do their work the most. So much research shows taking a “colour-blind” approach to raising children has the opposite effect. Racism is a public health issue. You are NOT safeguarding your kids by ignoring racism.

this interest in whiteness has been there throughout my career: why am i british with a british asian box, and not a welsh asian box? why is it perceived that white people are welsh but i am hyphenated? what if i am welsh and they are 'white welsh'?
