We all have the same human heart. Biologically and

We all have the same human heart. Biologically and emotionally. One that beats to keep us alive. One that longs for love, safety and belonging. The fact that we as a society still haven’t understood that the colour of anyone’s skin is of absolutely no relevance to the capacity of their compassionate, loving heart is abhorrent. Racism of all kinds is an evil power structure used to maintain dominance over people. Today especially, I stand with the Black Lives Matter movement. The police brutality happening in the US (and yes it happens here in the UK too) is so deeply shameful. All white people must educate themselves about how we benefit from and perpetuate structural systemic racism. It is the culture I was brought up in, from my parents, to my education, to the media, to our government. White supremacy is a sea we all swim in and we need to work together to destroy it once and for all. May the recent murders of Ahmaud, Breonna and George not be in vain. In response to Breonna’s death I started an anti-racism highlight in my stories to track educators, activists and authors who I have found helpful in unveiling what I was previously blind to. I will keep adding to it. Please tell me about the black educators and other authors of colour that you have found helpful. And today I’m donating to the Black Lives Matter movement in the US and the U.K. Suggestions of orgs to donate to are in the comments below 👇👇👇 We must not be silent in the face of such ignorant, deep seated, culturally embedded hatred. We are all humans. We all have the same heart. #antiracism #blacklivesmatter #oneheart #speakup #speakout #educateyourself

Felt the need for something loose and light-hearte

Felt the need for something loose and light-hearted today for #artistsupportpledge. These ladies make me think of waking up on bright sunny morning, getting out of bed, stretching a bit and taking a moment for yourself, just to feel at home in your body and contemplate the day ahead. Waking up I, Waking up II, watercolour and pencil on paper, each is £175 (+ p&p), measuring 50 x 70 cm. They make a great pair, but am equally happy to sell them individually. #LEOonpaper #artistpledge #watercolour #pencil #drawing #loveyourbody #rainbow #morningroutine #stretchitout
