In 1965, Malcolm X visited Smethwick and exposed the harsh reality of racism in Britain, declaring, “This is worse than Harlem.” His visit challenged the nation to face uncomfortable truths — a legacy that still inspires the fight for equality today.

“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of their skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” N Mandela ‘94

We need to be aware and mindful that the riots and unrest may impact the CYP and families whom we work with. Some may raise this in sessions or fearful/reluctant to leave their homes to attend appointments. 🧵 1/2

Look what happens when you apply positive assumptions!
Negative assumptions about people with Down syndrome can become self-fulfilling prophecies. Try positive assumptions and maybe we can create more opportunities at school, in the workforce, in sports, and in social life. #AssumeICan #EndTheStereotypes #WDSD24

An opportunity to reframe and enhance research in the diagnosis of ADHD in Adult Black Women 👇🏾👇🏾@SLTeaTime @MelaniePacker72 @RCSLTResearch @RCSLTLearn @BMEstreetAHPs @NetworkShuri
📢📢📢RESEARCH ANNOUNCEMENT!!! We are running our first research project together with the University of Greenwich. We have found that within research about ADHD our voices as Black folk are often not heard, with studies having large sample sizes of mainly white men.

Not only sad but shameful!
Isn’t it sad that Britain’s first Brown Prime Minister won’t give back money from a man who said Britain’s first Black female MP ‘should be shot’? In case you missed BBC News, here’s the clip of me from earlier👇🏾
