Sometimes life can feel a little heavy and overwhelming. Here’s your morning reminder to remember that you can get through it - whatever it is you’re dealing with. Whether it’s a rather boring essay you have yet to write, or a work commitment you’re dreading - YOU CAN DO IT!

Don’t judge people based on what you heard about them. Preconceived ideas are not useful. Give everyone a chance. Hear them out. Wouldn’t you like to be given that chance if you were in their shoes? Be fair.

As human beings, we attempt to cope with emotions in different ways. We often attempt to push away difficult emotions because they make us feel uncomfortable as it’s a painful process to sit with these feelings. We may try to distract ourselves or put on a fake smile.

We applaud all the athletes who have listened to their own feelings - rather than ignoring them and forcing themselves to do something that felt wrong to do... (1/3)

In the height of #COVID19, I spent 9-months making a film with young people in #Bradford alongside & partners on the youth experience. Many felt ignored, overlooked & unheard. This is the trailer to the upcoming launch film youtu.be/U8XRyTYJ6nM

Our lasting word on #SouthAsianHeritageMonth for today is how can they shout 'decolonise' for other events YET host an event that actively celebrates policing.
Where is the lack of nuance about how policing has historically impacted racialised communities?

we can’t only have mental health talks about making sure you get enough sleep, exercise, and eat well. we need to talk about suicide, addiction, depression so bad you can’t get out of bed. these things affect our communities and we can’t sanitise every aspect of mental health.

Criminalising, surveilling and accessing health information about, Muslims with mental health issues. What a great way to ensure Muslims don’t seek help.
Hideous.

Those of us who haven’t had the experience ourselves will probably never fully understand what it is like to be a refugee. At the same time, we all know what it’s like to be new somewhere.
The #simpleact of discussion can go a lot further than you think.

Talking to someone you trust about how you're feeling is often the first step towards helping you feel better.
Struggling on your own can be a lot for you to carry.
Talking can take that weight off your shoulders.

Was told before that this story didn't have 'broad audience appeal' - it's in the top ten most watched BBC videos right now. Thanks to and Imran for sharing their experiences, and also my planning editor Sonal Patel for pushing for this!
