About

Where am I coming from? I am a mother, poet and musician. For my day job I am a Literacy teacher who works with young people and adults. I am interested in everything that helps people to express themselves and access different forms of communication. This is why I am exploring what makes a good use of a blog and what kind of a text it is. Paulo Freire is my main inspiration when it comes to Literacy teaching. One day I hope to leave the world of FE and design a way of putting his ideas into practice. I know they were designed for rural communities but I dream of networks of teenagers across the estates of East London encouraging each other to write . Further Education isn’t equipped to remedy the real need for Literacy I see amongst young people everyday.
