Hello! Tonight I’m on Celebrity Mastermind. It’s a bit of an institution & through all the intensity of the spotlight & black chair - I still (kinda) had a laugh. Tune in if you’re free! BBC2, 19.30. 🥴

The person who inspired this was @AshleyJBaptiste. I read his book - Looked After - and I honestly can’t remember the last time I felt so simultaneously inspired and enraged by a book. I knew we had to do more. Big thanks to all involved - esp those with experience of care.

I've been reading Looked After by @AshleyJBaptiste and it does an amazing job of exploring the chronic feelings of being 'other' and the constant feeling of needing to prove yourself many #CareLeavers feel. I still feel that all the time, nearly a decade after leaving Care

Last week, had the immense privilege of hosting the annual @cypnow awards - celebrating incredible stories of youth work and successes in children’s social care. Was a joy to meet so many everyday heroes who go above & beyond for their young people. 💚

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.
