D’Angelo was one of a kind. As a pioneer in neo-soul, he inspired a generation of singers, and helped shape music today. Michelle and I are thinking of his family, and all those who loved and admired him.

After hitting No. 1 with “Voodoo,” the genre-melding 2000 album that he promoted with a risqué music video, he vanished for more than a decade.

Just heard about this documentary by @AshleyJBaptiste after our Head heard him speak at a recent conference. I think keeping siblings together is the ultimate aim, but I know it’s very hard to do sometimes.🤔 What an amazing story Ashley himself has to tell, too!👏🏻 #splitupincare

#RCGPAC @AshleyJBaptiste is giving us a very moving talk about his lived experience of care, including foster and residential care, and the impact it had on his education. What an incredible man (though he went to Cambridge rather than Oxford; nobody's perfect).

Invited to a Liverpool conference today - to share the message of Looked After with over 1,000 school leaders. Can only hope my words have a positive impact. Could primary school Ash, who was excluded from school, imagine he’d one day have a say in these spaces? ❤️
