It's taken me 45 trips around the sun, but for the first time in my life I know what it feels like to have a "band-aid" in my own skin tone. You can barely even spot it in the first image. For real I'm holding back tears.

Another amazing thing about living in this country is the free education! Did you not take up that offer? You could have benefited from it tremendously. Myself being a first generation scrounger,ofcourse, I made the most of my free education, I even did my homework sometimes

If you get joy out of making that comment, there is something distinctly not very British about you! #accepting #inclusive

I'm so glad I saved up all my bake off episodes for a long weekend, because cake is safer and warmer than the real world and I for one want to hide in the tent bubble for the next few days ! #bakeoff

I beat myself up everyday for not being enough, enough of a mother,wife,human. But you know what nanna, I would rather be stressed and striving everyday than be content and hateful.

Would you ask the same question if I was a middle aged, middle class, white man ? Why do you think I have my own series etc ? I’m sure you have your own theories and I can guess exactly what they are. There is enough room for all of us, stop speculating and just accept it

On the school run I overheard some young girls talking,they were in school uniform,so of school age,one said to the other ‘I’ve not lost enough weight yet, I still can’t feel my ribs’. What kind of crazy society are we raising our kids?

This is just appalling, I can't quite believe some of the arguments I'm reading to suggest this is acceptable. Children need feeding, food that is nutritious and filling, so they can sleep at night, so they can concentrate when studying. This needs fixing fast !

Just because they don’t see it or experience it, doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Racism and prejudice happens in the most subtle articulated ways in the unlikeliest of places. It’s there. The world hasn’t changed that much. Racism just hides behind a guise

Please don’t pity someone or something you don’t understand. Don’t assume I am forced. If you have any questions please just ask. I will happily answer them.
