Congratulations @M_Charters. There is nobody more passionate about @SlaveryMuseum. What it stands for, and what it can be. I look forward to working with you on the journey!
An exciting day for us, as we welcome Michelle Charters as the new Head of International Slavery Museum, starting in 2024. During her career, Michelle’s commitment has been to uncover and promote the truth of Black experiences, both historically and in the present. 1/2🧵

An honour to speak alongside @CrawfordHouse1 CEO Chief Angus Chukuemeka @ the posthumous admission of Dorothy Kuya to the Roll of Citizen of Honour of the City of Liverpool @TownHallLpool. A life dedicated to multiple causes. Sadly missed.

A pleasure being on the 2023 @OxfordCultural cohort panel on the ‘entrepreneurial mindset’ @CorpusOxford with Caroline Jones, CEO @TheStoryMuseum Oxford & Sydney Thornbury, CEO @TheArtHouseUK Wakefield. Such committed, exciting and, at times, difficult work. Go and visit!

Travelling to Oxford and had to change at Wolverhampton. In the melee of a busy station, it’s easy to miss several informative social history murals on the footbridge. It's worth stopping and taking a look.
