We think it's fair to say that things have been mega tough for parents - we salute you! @tn_midlands (Nay) has definitely experienced the joys & difficulties of trying to home school the last few months. She's not a therapist, but she's got a good pair of ears to hear you out 👂

What a great statistic from @WISE_campaign 👏 5,000 more girls took #STEM #alevels last year. Let's hope this number increases for 2019. #alevelresults2019 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM #womenintech + wisecampaign.org.uk/statisti…

Casual panel with my #RoleModel Lillie (13) & Ballet Queen Megan (8) Coming at “diversity” with with fresh eyes & ideas! Thank you @FPressly (& team) for making #DIDFest2019 happen. You work so hard to bring meaning to “belonging” & I’m so very proud to call you my friend 💜

The MOST heartwarming panel talking about tech in the future 😭 I think a million hearts broke in the room when Meghan (8) spoke about how technology can help ballet dancers with injury 💔 #DidFest2019
