Around 4 years ago I was invited to Sheffield Hallam University to do a talk on myself and @aaamindset. Little did I know there would be a student called Azmina who was touched by this talk

Our Mobile Youth Club will be at The Link on 20.02.25, 1-3.
We're working with the SY VRU to roll out more Weapon Amnesty Bins across the city and we'll be using this session to engage with Young people in the area to gather their thoughts and feelings on #Knifecrime.

Really enjoyable month on Exposed. Caught up with @JoeCarnallJnr and Kid Acne on their respective album releases, met local artists organising the city’s first street art fest and had an inspirational chat with Ant of @aaamindset who do incredible work with young people in Sheff.

4 st@bb!ngs in 2 days. It is out of control. I feel embarrassed, I feel ashamed, I feel all the hard work that I've put in is pointless. But mostly, I feel tired. I'm tired! Constant battles, up hill struggles. I know people won't share my vision of a safe and vibrant Sheffield.

My article published in the Sheffield Telegraph about the first year of @aaamindset becoming a charity.
It's been a journey 💚

It didn't sit right just not turning up because the building was closed, we felt that we owed our clubbers more than that.
So we, got all we needed to provide them with hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. Oh, and a Fredo too.

I had the chance to sit down with @ChrisDavisSmith, Senior reporter at Hallam FM to talk about knife crime for our Documentary Series Victims Voices.
He talks deeply about the issue and how it affects him after talking to victims families and friends.

Putting it there is the easy part. The hard part is getting people to know that it is there. So many agencies, companies, people within them companies.
Its possible tho
