My brain has too many tabs open is not something I have specifically suffered with since becoming a mum, my brain has often got a lot going on inside.

View Full PostFor books to read, my current reading pile is a real diverse mix of titles. I always have at least one book on the go, with a stack of unread ones waiting behind it.
I don’t get a lot of reading time at the moment and so my pace getting through things can be quite slow, but that’s okay.

On Tuesday 2nd June 2020 across social media, but more specifically Instagram, personal photographs and messaging were replaced with black squares by a majority of users, me included.
Documented as Black Out Tuesday, this was so that us uninformed folk could shut up and allow those with real insight and information about Black Lives Matter to be heard.
How are we in a situation in 2020, where we have to go through special measures to elevate minority voices? And why does it take witnessing such horrific scenes in the US to finally make us stop and reflect?
But we are all guilty of not listening to these powerful voices enough. I spent Black Out Tuesday working out how I can be a better supporter of black and minority ethnic people because until then my effort was poor and I don’t mind confessing that to you here.
I don’t often take the time to go digging for information, I mostly consume what the news and my social feeds show me during a 5-10 minute scroll and anything that does crop up of interest with a link I’ll click it. But that’s not often about black and minority cultures.
View Full PostToday is my last official day on furlough (for now anyway, because this shit I think still has a few curve balls and things to throw at us), and tomorrow I begin back at my job.
In total I have been off for five weeks, due to the global outbreak of Covid-19. My workplace shut a week ahead of the UK lock down and I spent three weeks working at home before being put on furlough.
Furlough isn’t a word that we in the UK really knew, and certainly until recently never had cause to use. .
