What is next for us Nubia Assata What Is Next For Us? Is in itself a question. Opening up a discourse on the future of black political activity, modern Pan-African pursuits and the relationship between the African continent and the global black diaspora. Nubia answers a multitude of questions covering the urgency of psychological liberation, the erroneous attachment to Black Messianism and the importance of radical collectivism. Following her debut book Silent Screams, Nubia stays true to her commitment to use her writings to mitigate the legacies of colonialism and slavery, but this time she focuses on the economic and socio-political legacies that ravage the global black community. Ultimately bringing the reader to ask themselves the culminating question, what is next for us? Nubia Assata is a young ,eighteen-year-old, up-and-coming author who integrates her intersecting activism for black consciousness and mental health through her work. She has used her experiences with mental health and racism, whilst being a young black woman in Britain as a springboard to open the conversation of what ‘Blackness’ means in 21st Century Britain and the world. |

Reviews... Khushi Dhutty Nubia's words are empowering, raw, authentic – she leaves the readership with that one eponymous question – what is next for us? And poses the final balance on the weighing scales of the future – will we remain in comfortability, or will the Black Diaspora leave the slumber and launch a rekindling of that innate determination to debilitate the lies of white supremacy? Dr Martin Glynn (April 2022) Despite being young, Nubia displays a maturity of purpose in her writing, combined with an important ‘call to arms’ to anyone who believes in addressing important issues concerning blackness, politics and identity. |
Nature of Wollaton Hall

Once you have visited the museum and viewed the diverse collections of preserved specimens, you can test your newly-acquired knowledge while walking around the park. Exploring the park you should see the deer and other wildlife active by day, although the museum is probably the best place to view examples of some of the park’s more shy, nocturnal or otherwise elusive wildlife, such as stoats, foxes and moles. After a visit to the museum, you might be surprised at what wildlife you can identify in the future. |

The animals are raring to go and ready to compete in their very own sporting contest.

Who will be jumping from the diving board?
Who might make it onto the podium?
Join the spectacle that is The Safari Games. Have fun.
Meet the competitors, some with four legs, some with horns, some on wheels or a blade, some with wings.
At the end of the day, they all come away with so much more than a medal.

The Joy of Knowing Pete
Hazel Morgan
|
Available on Amazon
Hazel is working alongside the Media Production Department at Bournemouth University on completing an audiobook of "The Joy of Knowing Pete" and a soundscape based on words, music and sounds from Peter"s life. Information to follow later this year on how to access these. READER REVIEWS...British Journal of Learning Disabilities January 2023 This book is an enjoyable read. I recommend it to a wide readership....'The Joy of Knowing Pete' is a rare treat as few books have been written about the life experiences of people with profound and multiple learning disabilities...Pete's life story is a plea to challenge discrimination, act imaginatively and enable all people with learning disabilities to live full and healthy lives in their own communities, where they are treated equally. NASEN’s Connect magazine July 2023 The Joy of Knowing Pete is a heartwarming story…Hazel shows the importance of developing experiences for those who are non- verbal with complex needs….It is clear Pete has inspired the family…..the detail in this book will help to change society, develop inclusion and ultimately change the way we care for those with learning disabilities. nasen.org.uk Sarah Palmer, Emeritus Professor in Maritime History, The University of Greenwich This book is a kind of love letter, not just to Pete but to the power of memory itself. Never sentimental, it is very moving. Rev. Janet Bellamy This is a loving and yet unsentimental depiction of life with Pete, beautifully drawn, in which Pete’s gift of himself to the family is powerfully illustrated and (implicitly) their gift of themselves to him is also movingly evident. Dr Sue Brown, Writer Hazel's book will contribute to a better recognition of how important it is to recognise the wishes and needs of those with disabilities and take them far more into account in responding to them. No one speaks with more insight and authority about that than she does. Virginia Astley Writer Through a series of snapshot recollections and the words of those who knew him, Hazel Morgan provides the reader with a memorable and poignant account of her son’s life…… The joy that Pete expresses in his own particular way radiates throughout the book and leaves the reader with the sense that this young man’s life touched a great many others. Christine-Koulla Burke, Director the Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities This book is beautifully written with fairness and equality at the heart, reminding us that all life is precious. Sally Bayley, Writer Hazel’s book is a moving account of how one family learned to live - often joyfully - alongside a young son with a disability. There is not a shred of self pity here, only a reminder of the brevity of all our lives and our universal desire to make meaning. John Swinton, Professor in Practical Theology and Pastoral Care, The University of Aberdeen This is a lovely book. It’s a testimony to Peter, but it is much more than that ... Hazel gently and kindly brings Peter’s voice to the fore. Chris Hatton, Professor of Social Care, Manchester Metropolitan University This is a beautiful and moving memoir - of joy, grief, pain, faith, belonging, love, and a life well lived. Christine Towers, Director, Together Matters This is Peter’s story written many years later. It also subtly hints at the need for the rest of society to be more inclusive and for a greater national policy commitment to people with learning disabilities. Letters on the Nature of Love

Janet Braithwaite was born in Staffordshire in May 1939 and has spent most of her life in the Midlands. Her life-long interest in languages, culture and psychology and love of music, dance, art, travel and mountaineering led somewhat haphazardly to a B.A. in classics, her first job working for three and a half years in rural development in north west Greece and a subsequent working life divided between psychological development work with troubled adolescents and freelance teaching English to adult foreign students. In her thirties she trained and worked as an artist printmaker. Her prints, deeply influenced by her memories of the Greek landscape and her love of modern Greek poetry, have been exhibited in galleries in London including the Royal Academy’s Summer Show, and the Midlands. She has mountaineered in the Austrian Alps and the Pyrenees and journeyed extensively on foot through the mountains of Greece, and has taught English in Athens and Paris for a year each. The same themes which inspired her working life inform the subject matter of her book and design for its cover. |

| Her first published work, it is a collection of recent drawings and poems written mainly since 1990 on the threshold of the second half of life. It is a celebration of love in all its permutations and of the joys of chance meetings with strangers and foreigners with all the enriching opportunities they bring for expanding horizons, experiencing different cultures and engaging with “the other”. Its ambition is to be deeply serious and light-heartedly humorous. | ||||||||||||
