AGREED! And you can vote for Isabela Coracy as Nina Simone in the Best Performer category at the Black British Theatre Awards here: blackbritishtheatreawards.co… #bbPioneers
Never before have I witnessed such a powerful and compelling performance, on stage or screen. #IsabelaCoracy as Nina Simone. Acting was sublime, she fully embodied the role and was truly born for this part. @BalletBlack was dance and storytelling at its best tonight. 👏🏽👑

Feeding babies is only one part of the parental mix, but for those not able to feed their babies as they hoped or would have chosen, it's a big part. Infant feeding should be on everyone's agendas. This film will help explain why. 👇

This mother/baby support group were amazing for me 30 years ago and I still see a gorgeous friend I met there. Parents need support groups especially if they haven’t got nearby family.

Here at BFD HQ we fully support the #JuniorDoctorsStrike for #PayRestoration. For too long now pay&conditions have been stripped so much that doctors have nothing to latch on to anymore - BFD only exists because of chronic NHS underfunding #bf4docs #BreastfeedingDoctorsSaveLives
