Over the past 2 days I’ve spoken to 600+ students about the importance of #storytelling in #anti-racism. 🙌🏽 They heard a lot about my own journey and how it informs the work that I do that prioritises #belonging for everyone. Thanks to @cpsetanta and @OLBAthlone for having me! 🫶🏽
I’m delighted to share that I’ve just signed on to work with @DA_Childrens and @LitAgentClare! So excited to bring beautiful children’s books to life with the help of this amazing agency! 🫶🏽📚
As we enter the busy month of October and the start of Black History Month in Ireland and the UK, I’m here to make sure we also talk about burnout. open.substack.com/pub/briana…

If you’re a teacher or parent/guardian of small children in primary school, please read through the proposed curriculum and give your feedback. A lot more can be done around diversity and inclusion and support needs to be given to our teachers to make real change for our kiddos🫶🏽

It was so lovely to be involved in another @MUFroebelDICE event at @DCU today! Being in conversation with @whackochacko, @Oeiny and @d_ruddenwrites about creativity, representation and authenticity in storytelling was a treat. 🫶🏽📚🙌🏽
Really enjoyed leading a full day ABAR workshop for @LimClareETB teachers and administrators today. The participants had so many insightful questions and insight on how to #antibias and #antiracism into their classrooms - so grateful for their time and contributions today!👏🏽🙌🏽🫶🏽
