Miss Sefa📚

Black y8 girl came to me during break, crying, with her natural hair shrunk by the rain. In under 15m & with the wrong tools I got the girl out with 2 rushed cornrows. Being black & that age, hair can mean so much. This is one of the many reasons we need more #Blackteachers #BHM

A personal hero 💓

@MmeLockhartLDSB @liv2learn @lifelonglit Love the analogy

Entering Oxford. Feeling a rush of emotions. I just left Amsterdam, where my aunt lives. She told me that my education was revenge. Vengeance against her father, who banned women of our family from school, vengeance against the Taliban, and those who fear an educated woman.

EAL student at school has committed to teaching me German at the end of every English lesson and my God 😭. Really reminds me of how hard these students are working to translate and process

@CantabKitty Get one! Heal that inner child 😂🫶🏿

@MissSuttonPE After all that hard work; devastating 🤣🤣🤣!!

@Sefa_English The heartbreak of returning after an hour and finding them dead🥲😂

Student brought this in today and was surprised I knew what her "new" toy was 😭🤣!!! My childhood is BACK

I'd recommend everyone to watch Defiance right now. It's a Channel 4 documentary detailing the racism British Asian communities faced in the 70's/80s. The first episode looks at the rise of the far right and the death of an Asian boy in Southall youtube.com/watch?v=4JCO_V…

You really finish university on a random Thursday, blink, and next thing you’re clocking 5 years as a working person.

One of my year 11s wrote Lady Macbeth whilst on the surface is presented as strong due to her emasculation of Macbeth in her pursuit of power, may also be deemed as weak as she has to rely on masculine strength to reach her own potential…
