I wrote OUR FAMILY FARM for Oxford University Press @OUPPrimary about 9 year old Ama and her family's greenhouse farm in Ghana. Part of the Readerful Series, borrow it from your local library. Ask the library to get it if they don't have a copy. #Readerful #RaiseAReader
Watched the film Drift today about a young woman who's a Liberian refugee in Greece. What a poignant, heart-rending story with a powerful performance by Cynthia Erivo. Would highly recommend. Film based on novel A Marker to Measure Drift by Alexander Maksik.#driftmovie #driftfilm
Today I’m sharing this fabulous book @blackpoppies14 @TheHistoryPress @FCBGNews #NNFN2024 #Rememberance Filled with extraordinary stories of Britain’s Black community in the First World War it should have a place in every History department but perfect for UKS2 as well. ❤️❤️❤️
Fatherhood in the Black community is thriving! Despite the rhetoric, many of us are active, engaged fathers, building generational wealth, sharing advice, and raising the next generation with purpose. From family days to school talks, we’re showing up and breaking stereotypes.
Went to see A Raisin in the Sun at the Lyric Theatre yesterday. Really enjoyed it. Fantastic performances from a very strong cast. Though the play was written in 1959, it still resonated today. Highly recommended. #araisininthesun
