Apart from
#InternationalDayForTheEliminationOfDiscrimination today is also #SingleParentsDay!
Wishing all fellow single parents a happy day, and continued success.
It is the most challenging role I have had to date. Single parents often face discrimination too!
Thanks to everyone in my village!🙏🏽💜

Which one of the following books have you read?

This post reminded me about a day I spent in a bookshop in Oakland, during my #ChurchillFellowship to the USA.
It was February 2020, #BlackHistoryMonth in the States.
I spent several hours at Marcus Book store I didn't want to leave.
Happy #InternationalDayForTheEliminationOfDiscrimination!

It's great to be back on here.
Took an enforced break.
After returning from Australia, came down with the nasty virus that has been plaguing many.
Grateful to be vertical again.
It's been a busy week!
Today it was @nursingtimes.bsky.social
#SNTA 2025 judging with fabulous colleagues.

A super busy 3+ weeks in Australia undertaking the 2nd leg of my
@churchillfship.bsky.social #ChurchillFellowship in Trauma-informed Care.
Now I am aiming for #TraumaResponsive care. It's not enough to be informed! We as healthcare professionals must learn about how trauma shows up & respond to it!

After two failed landing attempts, we were diverted to Schiphol.
Lord knows how many prayers I said, especially as I don't enjoy flying.
Thankfully, we got home in one piece and now my son wants to be a pilot!
Anyway, as we countdown to the end of the year, I will be celebrating #Connectedness

I have been quiet on here!
I've been busy being present with those who truly matter to me: my immediate family. Came back from holiday last week and have been very reflective.
I'm in #Gratitude mode!
On our return flight, we hit #stormDarragh

Hi @dohertyta.bsky.social
I started one a few weeks ago and shared it #RCNFellows #FRCN
I added the #RCNFellows I knew were on #BlueSky at the time. It appears many more have joined.

As always, the plan is to make it a #DecemberToRemember!
Let the month of fun and reflection begin!

#WorldAIDSDay
For a significant part of my career I specialised in #HIVMidwifery, a challenging but very rewarding role, when I learned to truly be #withwoman
Sadly, HIV continues to disproportionately affect Black people in the UK, most acutely Black African people, many, women.

Blocking mode activated!
I'm not tolerating nonsense here!
As my mum says: "I don't make threats, I make promises. Find out at your own peril!"
For me, it's about quality, not quantity.
#ProtectingMyPeace
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!💜💜

Gregg Wallace: "Complaints came from ‘middle-class women of a certain age’"
God help women who are not middle-class and of that certain age.
Instead of him listening & reflecting, he chose to centre himself!

May those who remain silent find the strength to expose men like this.
