There are several distinct challenges that naturally occur for any: Social Justice organization and/or, Direct Service organization. But, many organizations in NYC engage in both. This adds another layer of complexity to the normal and naturally occurring challenges that face any group working on the ground to create real change. These challenges include:? 1. Vicarious Trauma 2. Contested Approach 3. Disparate Time Horizons 4.

International Human Rights and Racial Justice Strategist. Executive Director at AfroResistance. Soros Equality Fellow at Open Society Foundations. Mama Extra-ordinaire, traveler and lover of BlackJoy!
My lastest piece is about Parental Burnout, I wrote this article as a social justice leader who firmly believes that parenting is an integral part of the social justice movement, yet it is often overlooked. As a Black woman leader, I face unique pressures and challenges that compound the everyday struggles of parenting. And as a migrant, this adds a unique pressure! By sharing my story, I hope to highlight the critical intersection between social justice and parenting, emphasizing the need for support, recognition, and resources for parents, especially those in Black and migrant communities. https://lnkd.in/e4xTnZ6h

Homeschool Dad | Doing work I'll never regret (i.e. teaching my own kids!). Follow me to learn how and what I teach them.
Engaging in family discussions about current events helps children understand the world around them and develop informed viewpoints. These conversations can teach critical thinking, empathy, and civic responsibility. Choose age-appropriate topics and encourage open dialogue where everyone can share their thoughts and questions. Use these discussions to provide context, explain different perspectives, and connect current events to broader historical and social themes. This practice not only informs but also strengthens family bonds.

Young people’s mental health is such an important subject and it’s critical to have the right level of support available. Some positive steps promised by the new government, so let’s see them now deliver!! #mentalhealth #adolescentmentalhealth #youngminds
Today was the Kings Speech, where King Charles set out the new Government’s plans for the coming year. This is what was said about young people's mental health. 1/ Children’s wellbeing in schools. The Government committed to “put children and their wellbeing at the centre of the education and children’s social care systems”. 2/ Reforms to the outdated Mental Health Act. This means young people who are sectioned will gain more rights. It'll also aim to address the disproportionate amount of Black people who are likely to be detained. At the moment, this is 4 times the number of white people. 3/ Ensure mental health is given the same focus as physical health. They will reduce waiting times, focus on prevention, and improve mental health provision for young people. We’re hopeful about these promises. This could be the start of real change for young people’s mental health. We hope the Government keep up this energy and push for more - we need bold long-term thinking. Every young person should get the right care for them, as soon as they need it, no matter what. Keir Starmer, you promised to roll out early mental health support hubs in every community. Let's get started with that. There is no time to waste.
