I've had one of the most wholesome experiences of my professional life this week delivering my 2nd @arvon__creative writing retreat this year.
I had the privilege of working alongside @danielle_jawando who is a fantastic author and such a kind soul. She has a real passion for writing books for young audiences and creating stories of those who aren't often seen. Thank you.
Vulnerability would be the word I'd use to sum up the week, the students were able to open up because we were also very open about our own stories, life experiences and journeys as authors and poets.
The work they produced this week was truly a sight to see. Such major growth in a short amount of time. Wonderful.
Im in a very privileged position and I never take anything for granted. Give thanks.

Comment below if you've ever been asked a question like 'where are you from REALLY?', 'can I give you a nickname because your name is hard to pronounce?' Or 'can I touch your hair?'
What else have I missed???
MY CITY, this play definitely resonated with me on so many levels.
Big up to the cast who spent their summer rehearsing and co-creating the play. It was a huge honour to be part of such a dedicated and caring team at @companythree to produce such a relatable and relevant play.
Il Visualizzatore Storie Instagram è uno strumento facile da usare che ti permette di guardare e salvare le storie, video, foto o IGTV di Instagram in modo segreto. Con questo servizio puoi scaricare contenuti e goderteli offline ogni volta che vuoi. Se trovi qualcosa di interessante su Instagram che vorresti rivedere più tardi o vuoi vedere le storie restando anonimo, il nostro Visualizzatore è perfetto per te. Anonstories offre una soluzione eccellente per mantenere la tua identità nascosta. Instagram ha lanciato per la prima volta la funzionalità Storie nell'agosto 2023, che è stata rapidamente adottata da altre piattaforme per il suo formato coinvolgente e tempestivo. Le storie permettono agli utenti di condividere aggiornamenti rapidi, che siano foto, video o selfie, arricchiti con testo, emoji o filtri, e sono visibili per solo 24 ore. Questo limite di tempo crea un forte coinvolgimento rispetto ai post normali. Oggi, le storie sono uno dei modi più popolari per connettersi e comunicare sui social media. Tuttavia, quando guardi una storia, il creatore può vedere il tuo nome nella loro lista di visualizzatori, il che potrebbe essere un problema per la privacy. E se desiderassi navigare tra le storie senza essere notato? Ecco dove Anonstories diventa utile. Ti consente di guardare contenuti pubblici su Instagram senza rivelare la tua identità. Basta inserire il nome utente del profilo che ti interessa e lo strumento mostrerà le sue ultime storie. Funzionalità del Visualizzatore Anonstories: - Navigazione Anonima: Guarda le storie senza apparire nella lista di visualizzazione. - Nessun Account Necessario: Visualizza contenuti pubblici senza registrarti su Instagram. - Download dei Contenuti: Salva qualsiasi contenuto delle storie direttamente sul tuo dispositivo per un uso offline. - Guarda i Punti Salienti: Accedi ai punti salienti di Instagram, anche oltre la finestra di 24 ore. - Monitoraggio dei Repost: Tieni traccia dei repost o dei livelli di interazione nelle storie per i profili personali. Limitazioni: - Questo strumento funziona solo con account pubblici; gli account privati restano inaccessibili. Vantaggi: - Privacy: Guarda qualsiasi contenuto su Instagram senza essere notato. - Semplice e Facile: Nessuna installazione di app o registrazione richiesta. - Strumenti Esclusivi: Scarica e gestisci contenuti in modi che Instagram non offre.
Segui gli aggiornamenti di Instagram discretamente proteggendo la tua privacy e restando anonimo.
Guarda profili e foto in modo anonimo facilmente usando il Visualizzatore di profili privati.
Questo strumento gratuito ti permette di visualizzare le storie di Instagram in modo anonimo, garantendo che la tua attività rimanga nascosta dall'utente che carica la storia.
Anonstories consente agli utenti di guardare le storie di Instagram senza avvisare il creatore.
Funziona senza problemi su iOS, Android, Windows, macOS e browser moderni come Chrome e Safari.
Garantisce una navigazione sicura e anonima senza richiedere credenziali di accesso.
Gli utenti possono visualizzare storie pubbliche semplicemente inserendo un nome utente—nessun account richiesto.
Scarica foto (JPEG) e video (MP4) facilmente.
Il servizio è gratuito.
Il contenuto degli account privati è accessibile solo ai follower.
I file sono destinati solo a uso personale o educativo e devono rispettare le normative sul copyright.
Inserisci un nome utente pubblico per visualizzare o scaricare storie. Il servizio genera link diretti per salvare i contenuti localmente.
