Wonderful to chat with #Stormzy at the #BritishVogue #ForcesforChange party. Told him to keep on making a difference to society for the better ❤️❤️🙏🏾❤️❤️
Wonderful nostalgic feeling seeing these iconic windows and remembering the intriguing way I used to reveal the window of the day. I can still hear the harp music as we went through the….. window.❤️
My beautiful beloved mum would have been 97 today. She was my Guardian Angel and I often find white feathers to let me know she still is ❤️
On #InternationalWomensDay I am thrilled to be included in the @Independent top 50 Women Influence List. I will continue to speak out in @UKHouseofLords especially for our children’s wellbeing and for justice for #Windrush victims @LibDems
Great to be with my fellow judge Sue Perkins one of my #Playschool Babies at Parliament today for the Kindle Storyteller Award announcement @AmazonKDP @sueperkins
Met so many of my #Playschool Babies last night at the #BritishVogue #ForcesforChange party and had a ball ❤️
The Women of the Year Lunch today was truly uplifting, diverse, inspirational and moving, with so many women leading the way with confidence and vigour, led by Chair @loubievaughan @womenofyear paving the way for future generations
I’m absolutely thrilled and delighted to have received the prestigious European Diversity Lifetime Achievement Award for my relentless drive for #diversityandinclusion for nearly 50 years. So happy to have received this recognition #EDA23 @diversityaward
Attended @womenofyear Lunch with my beautiful daughter Alvina in 1998, 25 years later she was celebrating her achievements at the Lunch as a brilliant teacher and Head of Geography. She is #makingadifference to children’s lives. So proud of her 👏🏽❤️
I welcomed the Premier of #Montserrat, Easton Taylor-Farrell to the @UKHouseofLords today to discuss his country’s plans for the future. His people are so resilient, especially since the volcano erupted and I’m happy to support them.
Thought for the day; To counterbalance the suffering, negativity and trauma in the world, be a breath of fresh air to those around you by being kind, thoughtful and considerate. Spread as much joy as you can, there are many who need it for their wellbeing ❤️
Thought for the day: ‘In this challenging world don’t get weary, lose heart and do something you might regret. Stay strong by believing things will get better and easier. Never give up and keep smiling cos winners smile’ ❤️
Thank you @edward_enninful for the wonderful #BritishVogue #ForcesforChange party great to celebrate with you all. So proud of you my #Playschool Baby ❤️

Visited #Barbados recently and one of the best dinners I had was at Paul Owens at the Beach House restaurant, it was simply superb with stunning views @paulowensatthebeachhouse
It was great to speak this morning at the #Bett2024 conference to #Educators the chosen ones, who I described as #GuardianAngels as they nurture future generations. So lovely to see the wonderful @CharleneWhite my #Playschool Baby who was hosting ❤️❤️👏🏽❤️❤️
Had the most wonderful time at the @BFI showing my film ‘Coming to England’ to a packed house of excited children! I have been doing this for the last 18 years and I have loved every moment. What a way to end #BlackHistoryMonth
Wonderful and honoured to give the keynote speech at the @acltcharity celebration of Daniel De Gale’s short life with his parents Beverley and Orin who formed the charity as his legacy to make a difference to other people’s lives. #giveblood
Thought for the day: ‘Unconditional love, thoughtfulness and kindness is what’s needed not just today but every day’ ❤️❤️
