‘Speak kindly to each other.
Choose your words well,
for words have power and substance.
They can lift the heart to the heavens,
or slice through it without drawing a drop of blood.’–
Hardie Grant, The Little Book of Us
‘Why are we platforming misfits,
heralding them as newly rich successes,
while they balance on creaking ladders with little
chance of social mobility?
I can’t help usher them into this house if there
are doors within it they can’t open. It feels complicit.
What I can do is be transparent about my experiences,
because transparency helps.‘- Michaela Coel
‘I can’t help usher them into this house if there are doors within it they can’t open.’
Whatever you do in your life, be transparent. You are not alone. Other people are watching you. Adults are watching you. Kids are watching. Above all, you are watching yourself.
