Racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia and this appalling violent senseless stupidity is 💔
Im proud to know & admire the work & company of so many people who are different to me. It makes my own existence richer.
We are all human, we are all on journeys. I pray for empathy & kindness

I know there must be many factors to consider… but still questioning why we only have 2/8 women in the GB tennis team… @the_LTA @Olympics
(There are several strong women currently in the @WTA )

Today @BelgradeTheatre engaging in #CoCreation & chats with fellow investigators has been stimulating…
…but more than that it has given me a space to reflect, provoke & challenge myself on my own practice
so many thoughts, notes, prompts & stuff to digest (23 pages in my📒)

What a day at DEPARTURE LOUNGE @igcmidlands @derbytheatre as ever beautifully curated so conversation and work meld with each other. Loved @Peyvandofpersia Dual, Variable Matter’s World Kiosk and Andy smith’s A Citizen’s Assembly. A day to make the mind buzz and the heart sing.
