Update on @MayorofLondon free funded BSL courses* in London as several asked how to access it. Below are the colleges but do ask your local college if they provide it due to increased demand in BSL for them to consider delivering it #equalandfairercity #BSLopportunities

Been taking the day to let it all sink in♥️ #RepresentationMatters Missed out on so many camps growing up cos my mama didn’t feel they were a safe space as they had no Black leaders & the ones I did go to I’d come home crying about not fitting in. Now I’m the @EUDYouth PRESIDENT!

Today marks the first day of #PrideMonth As we all know, Pride isn't just for a month, it's something we should celebrate all year round. Together with @DeafRainbowUK we have gathered helpful tips to enable orgs and businesses to support Pride and diversity throughout the year.

'I’m Black and I’m proud! I am proud of my Black deaf community and my Black deaf history, for example if you look at Black BSL signs, there’s such a rich language and history there. It’s incredible!' #BlackHistoryEveryday #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory
