I am buzzing after this evening's Hope for Cheetham community session. There was so much energy in the room with a lot of agreement about the importance of children and young people being safe from violence #HopeForCheetham @WHMmanchester @notesnscribbles and others tagged

Lecturing for 6 months online I know first hand that the students had to adapt greatly! Therefore, the fact they have to pay increased interest rates to receive an instant reduction in tuition fees is capitalism at its finest. theguardian.com/education/2021…

Very rarely on Twitter but this I must share. I’m extremely happy to announce my debut ‘A Word From the Margins’ will be published by the powerhouse @SharLovegrove @dialoguebooks Feeling truly blessed to share this narrative! thebookseller.com/news/dialogue-…


Inspired by his story. When stories are told, many are healed, and many are able to tell their stories to receive healing.

Tonight’s #SmallAxe is based on the life of author, Alex Wheatle.He grew up in Shirley Oaks,a notorious children’s home where people have described suffering sexual,physical and racial abuse:“I have nightmarish moments where my past comes back and hits me” theguardian.com/books/2020/dec…

Managed to catch @britrbennett @Waterstones talking about #TheVanishingHalf very inspirational. ‘I wrote the book I wanted to read’ ❤️


I must now go and have a Sunday with my family literally some # can get you in your feelings #blacklivesmatter #PublishingPaidMe


AMEN!

A plea to POCs embarking on a writing career - PLEASE don't let #PublishingPaidMe put you off being an author and/or illustrator if that's the career you're currently pursuing. Your voice, your work, your stories matter. The situation will improve. It has to.



Literally came on twitter to write ‘What a time to be a writer. What a time to be a black writer. So many stories still yet to be told by so many amazing storytellers yet to be heard from.’ And then I bumped into this hashtag #PublishingPaidMe which had me shook tbh!


THIS!

The desire has always been there. Black British readers have long been searching for books about the panoply of their lived experiences and not just their trauma. And, Black British writers have long been submitting their work and not getting any traction.
