Violence takes many forms. Sometimes people are punished for it (street violence) and sometimes people are revered for it (think Robert Moses). Make no mistake, *this* kind of state sponsored violence contributed and continues to contribute to our #gunviolence problem, destroying community fabric, draining equity, and causing trauma.

Founder/ Executive Director | Nyanam Widows Rising; SD4H Fellow | UCSF; PhD Candidate | Maseno University. I desire to see Africa where widows thrive.
We are thrilled to partner with SFF to advance the human, social, health and economic rights of widows in Kenya. Access and ownership of property, especially land, is one of the most violated economic rights of widows. As we start 2024, Nyanam widows will be - critically analyzing their experiences with land since widowhood - increasing their awareness on their land rights and process for land ownership - designing and implementing social action projects to improve their land ownership At societal level, much needs to change to advance women’s land rights. The practice that women have no voice on land matters should stop The practice that land is registered only in the names of male family members should stop The practice of denying childless widows land should stop

Community support can make a world of difference. Black dads, how has your community supported you and your child? Let’s share resources and build stronger connections. #AutisminBlack #CommunitySupport
Sharing a little bit of myself. I don’t like wasps and I want to be better at not running away from them! Our ‘who am I?’ YJS family tree in reception. Promoting positive interactions, relationship building and giving a visual picture of the whole YJS network of support. The ‘who am I?’ document is also completed with all the children we work with and presented at decision making meetings where the child is being discussed. This helps to ensure that we separate the behaviour and the child, helps prevent adultification and promotes child first practice. #childfirst

As we wrap up #BlackHistoryMonth, we must remember: work needs to be done to combat the problem of disproportionality, which affects black children and families, as well as other minority populations in foster care. As we acknowledge the work of those before us, let us use their example to guide us as we continue working on behalf of the most vulnerable children and families. For more on disproportionality visit https://bit.ly/38aTWvV.
