Hi @duolingo . Could you please change the word 'soccer' to football please for the English language version? When I write football in English it says I'm wrong - but I'm not.
Happy Birthday to my gorgeous Mum, who would be the grand age of 76, if she were here today.

I've been hurt by many men, and often feel threatened by men. I have never in my 40 years been hurt or felt threatened by a trans woman. I can understand why someone would want to identify as a woman, because women are brilliant. It's not because they want to hurt women.

This film is amazing, it's produced by Khevyn, an incredibly talented young Lewisham resident.
We gave Khevyn the brief to show 'there's no place like home'.
It's definitely worth a watch.
"We've always been here" - by Khevyn Ibrahim, a young Lewisham resident who attended our creative programme at @TheAlbanySE8.
We asked Khevyn to produce a short film to tell us what life is like for residents growing up on one of our estates.

We know that life is very expensive at the moment, so kids may miss out on the opportunity to take up new hobbies.
That’s why I’m currently offering free dance classes in South East London focused on supporting children of Black origin.
