Super proud of our colleague Sinem, sharing her research on the issues affecting black and racially minoritised mothers in the justice system. shows.acast.com/justice/episod…


Great article from @SiScottx about the challenges of long prison sentences. Must find "solutions that foster dignity, growth, and reintegration for those who have grown older within the confines of the prison system" clinks.org/community/blog…

Takeaway from the #EDI session - bring humility to the table and recognise what brings you discomfort. Great words to end the day. Have spoken to so many interesting and inspiring people. Lots to reflect on.


And just to round off a great day. Thanks to @UnLtd for inviting me to do a Twitter Takeover. Really enjoyed speaking to so many interesting entrepreneurs prolificnorth.co.uk/news/2023/06/b…

I never pictured myself as a social entrepreneur and I've been out of my comfort zone on many occasions. UnLtd offers guidance and support for people on that journey. It's a rollercoaster for sure. Hold on tight and enjoy the view. #GrowthImpactFund #CelebratingGIF
