Tricia spoke of having experiences of having smashed the glass ceilings repeatedly as a black woman, to say this shows resilience is not adequate acknowledgement "the shards stick in... it is Fortitude that is needed" @BASWDiasporaSIG @GodfredBoahen2

Thanks to @GawainLittle for the timely talk yesterday about the role of trade unions, international solidarity, and taking risks to stand in solidarity. As needed now as it ever was.
Great to join the Social Workers Union today to discuss the history of solidarity in our movement and what it means today! Now off to #TUC2025 @SWU_UK #Solidarity
