I did it! I stood up in front of people over the age of 11 and spoke about class, race, gender, periods and Beyonce! My favourite thing about leaving my comfort zone is the inspiring people I meet. Thank you @chellaquint for fulfilling an adolescent curiosity by letting me have an up-close look at a real-life Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret period belt! #seeingred #beinghuman #periodpositive #periodpositivity #endperiodpoverty #endperiodshame #mightygrrlmovement #areyoutheregoditsmemargaret #feministblogger #feminist #feminism #feministteacher #teachlikeagirl #feminismintheclassroom #empoweredwomenempowergirls
Sitting on the train trying to convince myself I’m a queen who deserves the space that I take up. It’s not working. I’ve convinced myself that my notes for the talk I’m giving tonight are irrelevant so I’ve decided to carry on reading The Hate U Give instead of letting myself panic. It’s not working because I am actually discussing the disproportionate arrest rates of children of colour tonight #justbeaqueen #impostersyndrome #sabrinatheteenagewitch #salem #thehateugive #feministblogger #feminist #feminism #feministteacher #teachlikeagirl #feminismintheclassroom #empoweredwomenempowergirls
I’m sitting here working on a talk that I’m giving at this event on Thursday. I’ve never done anything like this before and I have no idea how to write what I want to say. I’m terrified of babbling incoherently and going off topic as I usually do and I’m petrified that what I’m going to say isn’t relevant to the evening’s themes and everyone is going to see that I have no idea what I’m talking about. Do I try to memorise the talk (it’s going to be about 10 minutes long) or do I have brief notes in front of me? 😫 #seeingred #periodpoverty #endperiodpoverty #endperiodshame #womenshealth #activism #publicspeaking #feminism #feministteacher #teachlikeagirl #feminismintheclassroom
Want to feel like a totally fearless warrior babe when you look in the mirror? Take this advice from the baddest bunch of 9-11 year olds you’ll ever meet and say these affirmations to yourself everyday when (or in my case, if) you’re brushing your hair or squeezing your spots. #mightygrrlmovement #mightygirlclub #affirmations #feministblogger #feminist #feminism #feministteacher #teachlikeagirl #feminismintheclassroom #empoweredwomenempowergirls
I’ve been listening to the Sleeping Beauty episode of @mythpodcast which tells the absolutely horrific origins of Sleeping Beauty. I know pretty much all fairytales are problematic AF but this one is fucking chilling. I always loved fairytales as a child. I never dreamt about being a princess nor of being rescued. I was obsessed with the magic and mystery of them which then grew into an obsession with everything from mermaids to werewolves and vampires and I would read everything I could about them in the local library, sitting on the floor scribbling notes furiously in my little notebooks. My friends and I even tried to form a witches coven when I was 10 (which ended disastrously 🙀) I’m really interested to hear how people feel about their children reading and/or watching traditional fairytales? #endrapeculture #consent #teachconsent #mythsandlegends #disney #disneyprincess #feminism #feministkids
I participated in a teacher advisory group today that focussed on student voice. What is it and how do we empower it so that it is truly meaningful? Teaching children to be radical thinkers is not about ensuring that they agree with my views but equipping them with the skills to think critically and creatively and to question their own and other people’s long held beliefs. I find it incredibly difficult to put myself in positions where I discuss my practice with other educators but I absolutely love meeting other teachers who are fighting for a more inclusive education for their children. I am finding that each time I overcome my imposter syndrome as a teacher, it pays off a little more each time. Thank you @agenda.matters for a great day 😘 📷: @pyrite_design #useyourvoice #standupspeakout #teacher #teachersofinstagram #diversityintheclassroom #equalityintheclassroom #feministteacher #teachlikeagirl #feminismintheclassroom
