Yesterday, The Strive to Prosper Project was at Altrincham Grammar School for Girls to deliver training to the Bright Futures SCITT team around Adultification using a Lived Experience Lens. ✨ We used the story of Kenya to look at how certain viewpoints, attitudes and language used to describe her, removed her vulnerability and innocence. ✨ We spoke about how Parentification in the home & Adultification from professionals led Kenya into a world of exploitation, gangs and violence. ✨ We looked at ways in which certain cultural nuances can be forms of adultification and the dangers this can have on Black children. ✨ We explored at how professionals often have cultural biases about particular cultures, which often results in black children being adultified. ✨ We looked at approaches in which we can safeguard our black children better, by remembering first and foremost they are CHILDREN & should be treated as such & SHOULD be safeguarded and they should NOT be trying to safeguard themselves. ✨ When black children are adultified & parentified, they begin to program this and their childhood and identity is robbed from them, because they believe they have to behave in a particular way. This is dangerous, again leads to a world of extra-familial harm & can have negative implications in adulthood. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ If you will like to know more about what The Strive to Prosper Project do, please do not hesitate to drop a DM or email katrina@strivetoprosper.co.uk. #Training #Adultification #Freelancer #LivedExperience #Safeguarding #RaisingYoungKingsandQueens #Manchester #UnitedKingdom #Gangs #SeriousYouthViolence #Parentification #SafeguardingBlackChildren

We are shocked to see racist attacks on asylum seekers and Black and Brown members of our community across England and Northern Ireland. People are scared to leave their houses in fear of unprovoked anti-Muslim and anti-migrant violence from the far right. This is completely unacceptable. It is all the more worrying that misinformation and disinformation about the horrifying stabbings in Southport helped spark these riots and stoke up hate. The need for greater media literacy education is clear. Our youngest citizens need to develop critical thinking skills to combat fake news and hearsay, especially during heated moments happening in real time on social media. On top of this, the rioters have shown a complete disregard for our fundamental British values, including mutual respect, the rule of law and tolerance for different faiths or beliefs. To achieve harmony in society, we must instil these values from an early age in our schools. That is why we are calling on the Government and the Department for Education to make citizenship education a priority in the coming weeks and months. We also invite school leaders to put citizenship, PSHE and SMSC at the heart of the curriculum. It is inspiring to see that the vast majority of communities have come together peacefully in response to the Southport attack and the extremist thuggery that followed. It proves that, together, we can practise #HopeNotHate. #MediaLiteracy #CitizenshipEducation #PSHE #SMSC #FundamentalBritishValues

Please understand that this platform is geared towards creating awareness and that is why I am a proponent of Christian education. As a scholar of process improvement, I dare to challenge you to study and become knowledgeable. Knowledge is like a band-width and helps to interpret events and circumstances the more you learn and understand situations. I do not use divination to understand circumstance but natural wisdom from God's wealth of knowledge. So study and let us invest ourselves in reducing crimes in our communities. Education liberates the mind and that is responsible for low crime rates in nations of Scandinavia and all. America at this time is at bottom low in mass literacy among Hispanics, African Americans, Caribbean and overall population. This has given rise to establishment of institutions of crime as opposed to positive interventions. Education helps us to advocate for one another instead of taking advantage of ourselves like meeting the arrest quota or ration for a day for expected ransom payments and payouts. We need this intervention more than anything and should not put our lives in the hands of uneducated people with no character. At least a sophomore is required on the account of anyone seeking to work in any public service area. Private businesses should be vetted for this criteria as well. A two year Associates degree is key in beginning any type of career. And we encourage our education to be demographic centered. Please, the Spanish speaking population can leave the United States for better communication practices in Spanish powerful countries of Spain and all, let us tell ourselves the truth. We only need to speak only English in this country as a unified people groups together with similar values, please let us not kill each other on the grounds of segregation. It is in our best interest. Islamic people can study in Arabic and relish every moment of their culture, let us go home. This is not Babel folks and besides I do not think God is happy about this that we are trying to invade and dominate one another besides doing so from within and not from without the nation. It is barbaric. #RepentForTheKingdomOfGodIsAtHand #hbp #homelesshunt #segregated #SegredosDoUniverso #thatsit #Truthlove

Please read the article to the end
“We’re ushered into an office, resplendent with cut crystal water glasses, two white women sparkling with righteous whiteness. They ooze whiteness, their sense of importance, their unearned elevated place in the world. Their whiteness chokes the room before they even speak. I almost gag on it.” The way Palestinians are dehumanized. Racism is alive and well in American schools. White educators cause so much harm. If you are an educator, a parent or were once a kid, read this astonishing piece by an anonymous Palestinian American woman in Richmond, Virginia. Share, tag, let’s get these schools to do better 🙏🏽 Subscribe to Here4TheKids Substack ❤️ Free Palestine 🇵🇸 https://lnkd.in/e3BwkTzx

Our offices are closed today in observance of #Juneteenth, a pivotal day in American history. Also known as Freedom Day, Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom - more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States and serves as a profound symbol of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing fight for #equality. We recognize that equity is fundamental to social justice. Disparities disproportionately affect the Black community, resulting in higher rates of chronic diseases, lower life expectancy, and limited access to essential resources. As an organization, we are committed to fostering #inclusivity and #understanding while continuously working to improve access to #healthcare for all. Learn more by visiting https://lnkd.in/gqvPZFF
