Jacob Philadelphia was five years old when he visited the Oval Office and asked if his hair was like mine. That photo became one of our favorites – a reminder of the power of seeing yourself in your leaders. Today, he's graduating from high school! Check out our recent reunion.

Yesterday afternoon spent filming @itvnews 6 regions regarding organ & blood donation @NHSBT campaign spent 15million with 2% increase from Black Asian Minority Ethnic uptake, many opting out. Irony @BHILeeds applied to raise awareness but unsuccessful 🤷🏾‍♀️
