I’ve had an idea. As we know, Clinical Psychology (and psychology in general) still continues to hold a strong white, middle class identity… (1/6)

Here’s my Octavia E. Butler collection that includes her books and some essays for anyone interested in reading 📖

My thesis - Supporting the Wellbeing of Black Girls and Young Women: A Qualitative Exploration of Cross-Generational Knowledge Within Community Organisations - is now available to read online: uhra.herts.ac.uk/id/eprint/2…

Giving oppressed people superhuman attributes is also a form of dehumanization
Still so happy from submitting my thesis last week ☀️ & eternally grateful to everyone involved. Tried to stay authentic throughout…from consent forms to data collection & the Black feminist literature which shaped the whole thing. Next we aim to publish & get the word out!
PLEASE RT- I need to speak to ONE more practitioner working with/having previously supported Black YW & girls in a community-based/ grassroots capacity! Interviews are held online, up to 60 minutes, with 1-2 other practitioners from across orgs. They've been beautiful so far!

We live on a planet where food literally grows on trees, & water falls from the sky, but instead of cooperating in solidarity & mutual aid, so we can all enjoy this earthly paradise, we decided to create things like the 8 hour work day, credit scores, & school lunch debt.
The last day of teaching pretty much summed up my doctorate journey so far. By far the best part has been meeting such precious angels along the way. Stressed but grateful! We got this!
Good morning, if you’re expecting to hear from me, flu currently has me by the lapels! I’ll be in touch asap. Thanks for understanding!

Megan said something really important in her documentary. She is a black, sexually liberated woman & because of that people felt like she deserved the abuse she endured and had no empathy for her. #InHerWords.
Just FYI, I’m happy (and was assuming I would) travel to organisation spaces to meet young people, as long as that works for everyone. I can also do this as many times as necessary ahead of the focus group sessions to build relationships. Practitioner spaces will be held online.
Re-sharing this in the hopes of speaking to Black girls and young women who attend community organisations. Please share with any young people and/or organisations that might be interested. Feel free to email [email protected] if you would like more information
Re-sharing this as I would love to hear from community practitioners working to support Black girls and young women. Please email [email protected] if interested or if you would like more information

I also often wish we knew more about the criminalisation that follows for Black young people who are missing, then found.
I have seen parents report their child missing to the police, for them to come home, and it be a choice they wish they hadn’t made because of what follows.

This is really really sad man 😢💔
Such an important cultural hub in Brixton…. I’ve watched so many of my favourite places I’ve DJd at disappear.
We need to have a conversation on what Cultural Protection means and looks like in London.
