I found your blog interesting and well referenced, stimulating my own thoughts on racism in education, especially in the Telegraph interview on video.

Thank you for your comment. I find as I’ve got older it’s very important to pause, stop and think before replying to people because this has a better impact on me reducing any discriminations that maybe there in conversations or emails. It is important that we all learn to work together, as fashion and the arts world, really allow us to…Read more

When I was young are used to hide my dyslexia, as I felt that I would not be included with my peers. It’s something which stayed with me for a long time in life. Coming into the teaching world it’s something I want to ensure no student felt like that in the studio space. So, one of my objectives was to be open to students as much as…Read more

I created a new workshop this year, based upon the draping methods of a sari. Traditionally this is worn by women, but I wanted the workshop to be inclusive to all students with gender and neurodiversity students, so in the workshop I used my own body to drape on and found this worked removing any hierarchy between students and myself,…Read more

Enjoyed reading your post. It started me thinking about double discrimination and how this effects people with disabilities, like me with dyslexia, who does not like to draw attention to myself, but needs extra help or extra time with my work. And how this can affect us mentally because one loses control and dignity. We do not like to…Read more

Enjoyed reading your blog.

Thank you for your comment, I think is not only about our personal privilege but more thinking about the environment, the language, the words we use in teaching practise can help us overcome many of the obstacles that students face with diverse learning needs, may it be disability, race, or gender identity.
