We are proud of our members & recognise that not all women experience the same barriers to participation in politics & so want to take some time today (and every day) to celebrate the women of colour on our exec and in our network #WomenInPolitics #RepresentationMatters #Shero
Our exec member, the brilliant Cllr @JosieChanner has a book coming out next week - Diary of a Prison Officer. You can join us for the launch event here. eventbrite.co.uk/e/book-launch-…
Our exec member, the wonderful @TaiwoOwatemi was elected as Coventry North West’s first Black MP in Dec 2019. A former NHS pharmacist, she is now part of the Shadow Home Office team and is already making waves in parliament with her intellect, calm approach and wisdom.

Thanks to everyone tuning in tonight! Do you have a question for @shaistaAziz or @kate_murray? Let us know #FWNwriting
.@shaistaAziz highlights the importance of knowing what you believe and knowing what you think. If you can crack that, you can crack writing to be heard. #FWNwriting
"There's a reason why journalism is such an elite, white privileged profession... They are not reflective of the wider population" - @shaistaAziz on the issue of fair pay in journalism and the problem of people being asked to work for free #FWNwriting
