My #Gnome for #ChelseaFlowerShow is decorated with blue beads and my iconic silver heart for my #Playschool Babies as it represents 50 years since I first appeared on Playschool.You can bid for it @rhs.org.uk/chelsea-gnomes. Funds are to encourage kids to garden ❤️

I’ve loved this woman since I was a toddler. I met her today and can confirm @FloellaBenjamin gives the greatest hugs.

After meeting with Windrush scandal survivors, Floella Benjamin pushed the Government on plans for the 80th anniversary of Windrush and on the promises still not kept to the families hurt by the scandal.

This week, Windrush survivors sat down with @FloellaBenjamin, @mariecgoldman and @JoshBabarinde, and Lords Leader Jeremy Purvis to share their experiences. We are listening and we will keep fighting for justice. #WindrushJustice

We are very sorry to hear of the recent death of longstanding SWWJ member Joan Moules, at the agd of 95. So well known and well liked among our Society members. She will be sadly missed. RIP Joan.

It makes me so happy to see more and more countries are trying to protect the world’s children from harm and online exploitation. We need to preserve our children’s childhoods for as long as possible ❤️❤️

@KMFollett What a great well deserved recognition to someone who have made an enormous creative contribution 👏🏾👏🏾 @KMFollett

I’m honoured to have been made a Freeman of the City of London.

Sending virtual hugs of comfort to you too❤️

Sending virtual hugs full of comfort ❤️

It makes me weep to think of all the damage that has been done to children due to online harms. I so wish I could have got Protective measures put in place 13yrs ago We continue to fail them and as I keep saying ‘childhood lasts a lifetime’ @LibVoice4Women

Zoe spoke on the mental health motion for restrictions on social media for children. She highlighted @FloellaBenjamin's 2013 motion that sadly wasn't passed when @LibDems were in coalition. She spoke about the normalisation of sexual violence and flight from girlhood e.g. GIDS

Thank you to our dear ‘play school Auntie’, and Thank you to all women working in TV for the under 5s. Happy International Women’s Day 🫶💃🏿💃🏽💃🏻💃🏾💃🏼

Saluting women across the world on International Women’s Day. Remember you are role models to other women making them feel ‘Yes I can’ they need to see it to be it. Two women, my beloved mum and Tony Lothian, made me feel anything was possible. #IWD

To women across the world stay strong and motivate each other#IWD

This is how thieves can swipe your bag without you noticing. I lost my passport and my devices, so couldn't fly home. Later I'll share what happened next, including how I tracked down some of my possessions, how you remotely wipe your devices, how I got an emergency travel document, and how amazingly kind people were to me. Please share this video, and you might save someone else from going through the same thing. Thanks x #robbery #mugging #barcelona
