“Prisoner turned playwright”
This is my proudest moment since founding my amazing charity @I4YPC
Being celebrated as a #GreaterMancunian in the city that I was born and bred in, is the greatest honour that could ever be bestowed. 🙏 🙏 🙏

So what do you get up to on a Saturday night? Stubborn fucker that I am, couldn’t cope with the dripping tap keeping me up anymore. Could be that I’m a stubborn Taurean, or perhaps #onlyasurvivor knows this feeling. Got it all out, but will the ending be as #satisfying …? 🤷

Well given that I was absolutely shit at this kind of stuff when I was younger, I’m pretty damn chuffed with myself. If only they had provided training in high school for these simple (but not so simple) tasks - practical life skills that actually come in useful one day!!

Just been to @BuxtonOpHouse to see @paulkerryson Evita, fully cast with members of the community and an orchestra.
It’s very rare I come out of the theatre these days, filled with wonderment, reminiscent of the very reason why I fell in love with theatre in the first place.

Thank you so much for this recognition. I don’t do what I do to be recognised, but I’m full of gratitude to @GMancunians for the honour.
I’m also delighted that my charity @I4YPC continues as an official employability partner with the brilliant @TheMcrCollege
Thank you 🙏 🤩

This was a truly magnificent discussion with brilliant people who really believe that the voices of male victims should be heard.
A regional and national strategy for male victims of violence is vital, and I’m talking from personal experience as well as on behalf of young people
Such an honour for our CEO @mickydacks to be invited to contribute to this vital strategy around issues affecting the majority of young males who access our provision.
We salute @MrMadrigalOBE who campaigns tirelessly for males to to be recognised as victims in their own gender

Today I learned from a young person that he’s been branded in school as having ‘Broader Depth’.
WTAF. Can we no longer say that a child’s gifted and talented and make sure we nurture those gifts and talents, whilst also promoting positive peer role modelling?

And I get that some will argue that referring to pupils as gifted and talented may make other pupils ‘feel’ inferior, but that’s where peer mentoring programmes and alternative vocational routes should come into play, making sure that ALL pupils can feel gifted and talented!

To receive the blessing of Jessie’s family was the biggest blessing of all.
To personally receive acknowledgment and praise from HRH Prince William for my charitable work, I can’t quite process that yet!
Young people are always at my heart and I’ll never stop championing them.
Our Founder/CEO @mickydacks had the honour of meeting @kensingtonroyal HRH Prince William during his visit to @msmpowerhouse
The prince was full of humanity and praise for Jessie’s Wall, and congratulated Micky on his work bringing the project together.

Jessie’s Wall has been two years in the making. I’m honoured that my charity @I4YPC and another incredible organisation @msmpowerhouse could collaborate together with the community of Moss Side, to update this memorial to a young life, tragically lost to unnecessary violence
27 Oct 2023
Proud moments tonight - the amazing unveiling of Jessie’s Wall - lots of great work delivered by @I4YPC @msmpowerhouse and the fantastic young people who took part! ❤️👍🏽 it was amazing to see the reveal and everyone came out to support! ❤️ R.I.P Jessie James - we miss you! ❤️
