Some situations require you to consider & acknowledge your own red lines.
You ask yourself
Can I stay silent?
Can I remain impartial?
Can I leave it to others?
Can I ignore injustice?
Is anything I might lose really so important?
Then it’s a simple choice
No justice, No peace

NIGERIAN BOY INVENTS GLASSES FOR THE BLIND
An African teenager has invented glasses that could revolutionise life for blind people. They have sensors that bleep to warn the wearer of nearby obstacles. It’s a simple idea that’s been brought to life by 17-year-old Khalifa Aminu, from Nigeria. He’s now looking for funding to get them manufactured. Seems like a winner to us!.

🇮🇹 Millicent Sanders, a textile designer-maker from Bradford, shares her Venice Biennale experience on our website’s new ‘Stories’ page:
"I spent my spare time exploring exhibitions, drawing and photographing the streets and seeing the city by boat. In the evenings I went to soundscapes, techno raves, beach parties, and street festivals."
While in Venice, Millie dedicated time to developing her own research project following the theme of the Biennales’ wider exhibition: ‘Stranieri Ovunque' or 'Foreigners Everywhere’.
"I have been collecting stories of Italian migrants who travelled to work in textiles mills across Bradford after World War II. Their children and families are part of a large community of Italians currently living in the Bradford district."

Now, here’s a manifesto I could vote for!
With regard to ranking the 10 points I’d put 5 as the priority -then by supporting more Black teachers to thrive & rise in the profession the other actions - all of which are equally & critically required - are more likely to happen ✊🏽✊🏿
We invite you to be part of this movement.
Support @BEtruthopower by ranking the topics in our Education Manifesto from 1 to 10 to show which points are the most important to you.
