1/ If you are creative it's not easy. Your ideas will fail. People will not understand you. Sometimes it gets lonely. you may feel rejected. And sometimes, you will see others who took the conventional path get further ahead with apparent ease while you struggle...
2/ But if what you do makes you happy, gives you peace, changes someone else's life for the better then it is noble. These things are priceless. Youthful energy can mask a lot of cracks, but as the body & mind slow down, these cracks become canyons...
3/ So many people I know who were 'pushed' by their parents/society/careers advisors into jobs that they hated but paid well. Their perks have become prisons & they feel lost.
4/ Your path may not work out, but if you are clever enough you can take these experiences & make them into something beautiful.

Every experience if you are earnest enough can come good. Don't give up on yourself. Keep striving. Keep failing & keep learning. It can work out.
5/ Just some words that I wanted to share.

I hope that you are all well.

1/ A quick PSA: I’ve just had a conversation with a dear friend who has experienced racial discrimination in a school to the point of damaging her mental & physical health. She has been forced to leave because she felt the constant battle would destroy her health further.
2/ She is not the 1st either. That school has had a drain on Global Majority talent because of the incessant bullying & ‘hush-up’ culture.

The irony is they are taking procedures against her at the start of #BlackHistoryMonth.

Guys, in this month while the usual slides of
3/ MLK & Nelson Mandela get shown, if your school is not pursuing active anti-racist policies it’s the equivalent of trying to train a dead horse to run at Ascot.

Please understand, especially during this period, to understand that the systemic injustices are not just in the

1/ I’m neck-deep in writing AHT2 & I’ve just had an epiphany.

When I started writing AHT2 it was going to be a direct sequel to AHT1. But as I have started to write down my ideas, it has evolved into something else - it’s becoming very different to my 1st project.
2/ & this made me scared.

The mind gremlins (my doubts & fears) started to talk to me saying:

“What you are writing ain’t good enough”
“You are going to disappoint the fans of the 1st book.”
“Who do you think you are to try & write this type of book?”

& I got writers block.
3/ Believe it or not, I considered quitting the project. But I realised that you have to evolve & try something new & it may not land how I wanted to but at least I tried.

Whenever you do something creative or entrepreneurial & you put yourself in a place of discomfort

1/ Good Evening #Edutwitter

A🧵:

This was inspired by a brilliant teacher that I met at the @TeachFirst BAME conference this past weekend.

This teacher was wondering how I got my book out there & I explained that social media (especially Twitter) was the source of most
2/ of my progress. I had a microscopic budget & didnt have a fancy PR person to help me but I slowly figured it out.

She seemed a little sad & told me sheepishly ‘I have nothing to offer all I do is teach. At least you have a book.’ That bothered me greatly - she was a damn good
3/ educator & I knew that she had so much talent to bless us with. But, with my limited wisdom, wanted to create a little guide to help educators get more from social media that will help enhance their careers & maybe give them the same life changing opportunities it gave me!

1/ It’s ok to not be ok. I’ve been speaking to a good friend of mine (I’ve asked his permission to tweet & he said yes) about depression & feeling despair.

I spent the last couple of days going back & forth with him talking about our lives, our triumphs & our struggles…
2/ Here’s some key learnings that this weekend has shown me.

A) Check up on your friends. Seriously. - We often ask ‘how are you’ but most of us never tell pple how we truly feel. Some of us put a really brave face on but we have been struggling for months. Create a safe space
3/ for your friends & loved ones to really talk about how they feel. You might be saving a life (& yours too.)

B) Be kind to yourself - Many of us put insane pressures on ourselves to be ‘successful’ by all the material markers of society ie cars, houses, 💷,

1/ Time for a rant.

People denying your lived experience is infuriating.

Many promises were made after George Floyd but now I see it was a social media trend. People are bored now.

Now we have been told to shut up, sit down & carry on as normal.

Institutional racism is real.
2/ Also I’m getting tired of educating people who don’t want to do the work.

After George Floyd, many PoC laid bare the struggles that we faced in our daily lives & gave intimate details of what it’s like to constantly be treated different just because of your skin colour
3/ We posted resources, gave lectures, made documentaries & had webinars to discuss this.

Because of BLM & George Floyd, #BlackHistoryMonth was expanded for 4 months!

I had hope then.

But this report has confirmed my worst suspicions. It basically said we are making it up. OK.

1/ You are not to blame for the things that happened in your life but you are 100% responsible for them.

You didn’t pick your parents, how & where you raised. Your circumstances were given to you. Some of us were given a bad hand.

But you CAN be an agent of change in your life
2/ The Calvary is not coming. Be the Hero in your own story.

Honestly assess where you are. Make an intelligent plan & take micro-steps out. Take a course, read a book, get fitter, stronger, wiser.

Assess your circle. Do they lift you up or pull you down? Look at your shared
3/ history. Have their cheered you on always critiqued you? If they are negative, minimise time.

Have faith. Some days it will feel like nothing is changing but keep going. Good things take time to grow. Be 0.1% better each day.

Each step will take you further
