Home after excellent Digital Universities Conference #THEdigitalUK - superb hosting from @UniofExeter Great sessions on inclusion and co-creation. Enjoyed judging hackathon on bias in AI. Couldn’t resist saying hi to someone who inspired me from an early age @FloellaBenjamin
Great to hear how much the children enjoyed reading my book ‘Coming to England’ and inspired to embrace diversity which hopefully will stay with them forever because childhood lasts a lifetime. Sending virtual hugs 🥰@RPS_Otters @creative_dy @MacmillanKidsUK

@FloellaBenjamin spoke powerfully on the importance of investing in early intervention services for families yesterday in the @UKHouseofLords debate on children in local authority care.
Channel 4 News will feature an exclusive on my client, Richard Black, tonight. Richard, who returned to the UK on Monday after 40 years exclusion, questions why justice evades Black people even when major wrongs have been committed. #WindrushScandal #HostileEnvironment

Richard Black was left stranded in Trinidad for 41 years after his UK citizenship was revoked - despite living in the UK since he was six. We went with him as he visited his mother's grave in London for the first time. He was refused travel documents to attend her funeral.

@FloellaBenjamin I found this photo of me taken in 1973, I’d been given my very own Humpty Dumpty for my 5th Birthday! I loved him so much, he’s still in my Mum’s loft somewhere! #playschoolbaby

Love this article in @yoursmagazine about Playschool. Can’t believe it started 60 years ago! @FloellaBenjamin was a great presenter, now President of #SWWJ and I’ll get to see her in person soon. Should I take my (daughter’s) teddy & Jemima do you think? Lol.
Last call for the House of Lords lunch! Still a few places left, but we do need to close bookings on 18th April. Hurry if you still want to come... #130thanniversary celebrations.

@ChrisAnstey74 For some reason for years I forgot Floella acted and then now see her pop up in Gentle Touch, Within All Walls and all of the various era stuff when I rewatch. Love her 👑

We have had a fantastic book launch day. We read our new text ‘Coming to England’ by @FloellaBenjamin We came to school wearing what we would wear if we went to a hot country. We thought about how it would feel to move to a different country. @MissWalker_KWP @KingswoodParksP
