For those of you new to me… did you know I’m a TEDx speaker?
A few years ago, I spoke about how care gets lost in education when we’re focused on delivering knowledge. And yet, care is the thing that makes learning possible.
Here's the link to the talk: youtu.be/IqGme5480Z0?...
It’s been almost a month since we launched the Betty Campbell's Pathway - an immersive way for learners to explore history that feels real and connected. Grateful to everyone already bringing it into their classrooms. 💛
#BettyCampbell #BlackHistoryMonth #AntiRacismInEducation
"Some stories don’t fade -they echo." This Black History Month, I’m proud to share the Betty Campbell Interactive Resource - honouring Wales’ first Black headteacher.
It’s legacy, courage, and voice brought to life for a new generation.

Still thinking about the conversations at #BAMEedWales.
Anti-racism isn’t something you bolt on once a school is “ready.” It has to be part of the foundation.
Wrote a few reflections here:

Co-written with the brilliant Chantelle Houghton.

Started the week chatting to learners about my grandmother, Betty Campbell; her life, her legacy, and her courage to do what’s right.
It’s so important that curriculums reflect diverse voices, just like these learners are experiencing.
I’ve spent the past year building this Anti-Racism Programme—shaped by my work as a consultant and what schools + orgs told me they needed.
It launches in 5 days!

Recently, my work was featured on a major platform—without my name. No credit, no acknowledgment. This kind of erasure isn’t new, especially for those of us from Global Majority communities. Recognition matters. #GiveCredit #AntiRacism #ApexEducate

So happy to see the Action Research program making such a real impact! Big thanks to Estyn for sharing how this work is driving change in schools.

Creating real, lasting change against racism takes more than surface-level awareness. That’s why I'm launching an anti-racism course to help organisations and schools go from awareness to action. Learn more about it: www.apex-educate.co.uk/anti-racism-...

A fantastic morning in an amazing school. Diolch @apexeducate.bsky.social @tygolding.bsky.social
Chine McDonald’s book launch at St Paul’s was a night of truth. ‘Perfect motherhood’ wasn’t made for us—but we’re rewriting the script. #BlackMotherhood #BreakingTheMould

Great start to our ‘Anti-Racism in the Classroom’ professional learning with Rachel Clarke @apexeducate.bsky.social @catrplace.bsky.social
For sure!
I’ve had the chance to work with the WJEC team, and I’m so proud of how they’re putting learners' psychological safety first.

Anti-racism work is tough-but so is burnout. Remember to rest and reflect during this season!
To all school administrators: What policies are you implementing to address the rising exclusion rates of Black Caribbean students, especially Black girls, in UK schools? These are futures on the line. Equity and inclusion must be a priority.
#Edusky #AntiRacism
Anti-racism work in classrooms really starts with the little things. In one of my action research groups, someone shared how they realized that even touching a child’s hair—meant as a compliment—could send the wrong message. It’s small realizations like this that lead to real change. #Edusky
Leading anti-racism courses in schools, I keep hearing how eye-opening it is, even for educators in multicultural settings. Someone shared, 'I didn’t realize touching a child’s hair, even as a compliment, could be harmful. Now, I’m more mindful.' Small actions matter. #AntiRacism
Remembrance Day is here, and today I am honoring everyone who served in the wars -especially the global majority whose stories remain untold. I'm also proud to share a glimpse into my family history: my grandmother's story as an evacuee. Watch it here: www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-...
Just wrote an article honoring my grandmother, Betty Campbell, and her impactful work in education in Wales. Check it out to see how she inspired many generations.

"When people think about academies their mind immediately heads towards the large trusts. Equally, when people think about private or independent school they think of Eton & when they think about free schools they think about Michaela..." @greeborunner.bsky.social 1/2
Anti-racism is a long-term commitment. It's about creating lasting change in our communities and classrooms.
