Nat Gaynes, a dressmaker in Guyana, designed this cotton mix two-piece skirt suit for Dr Beryl Gilroy. In 1968 Dr Gilroy became London’s first black headteacher. This bright pink suit is characteristic of the style of dress worn by Caribbean women in Britain in the early 1950s.

Really pleased to see this trial become available soon, and to have been a member of the advisory group #pregnancy #anxiety
Pregnancy can be a worrying time. For #MHAW we are highlighting a #clinicaltrial that will evaluate a #digitaltherapy to help interpret ambiguous situations more positively. Here Abi from the advisory group talks about the RELAX study 👇 @KingsIoPPN @NHSMaudsley @NIHRresearch

Can’t get enough of Jerry Dammers and Pauline Black in the @bbcarts 2Tone: The Sound of Coventry documentary. Didn’t know he was so funny, she’s always a legend #2tone
Loved hearing the new @bluestates single on @BBC6Music w/@laurenlaverne. The delicate and bittersweet music we need right now #NewMusic #newmusic2022

Tedium, yes, but looking forward to boredom #lockdown
Romans, essais, littérature médicale, récits de voyage, journaux intimes... Les manières de dire son ennui sont diverses. Tant et si bien qu'il n'est plus possible de le nier : l'ennui aussi a une histoire. ➡️ l.franceculture.fr/si
Feel-good news of the day… Kudos to the inspiring students and staff @BramptonManor1 via @EveningStandard standard.co.uk/news/uk/oxbri…
Great shoutout from @gemcairn to #museum #heritage & other #community workers on @BBC6Music just now.
Is it weird that looking at an image of that many people squished together gives me the heebie-jeebies? When will that go away? #IsleofWight #festivals

Thx @stellacreasy, for pointing out that many of these #freelance/#selfemployed jobs are taken up by women working around caring commitments, and they are the first to fall through the legislative cracks and often last to recover #seis #families instagram.com/tv/CLKQXD1nS6P…

Can you help make sure all children in Southwark have access to #laptopsforlearning? We're match-funding the @LondonSouth_TSA Crowdfunder appeal to equip them with the digital tools they need crowdfunder.co.uk/laptopsfor…
Like everyone else, we were stuck inside a lot this year, and with streaming further blurring the lines between theatrical movies and television features, I’ve expanded the list to include visual storytelling that I’ve enjoyed this year, regardless of format.
