So I visited the Wellcome Collective last week with the absolute darling @radapandeva ๐
Had the best time being surrounded by Deaf culture and inclusivity. ๐ค
It's FREE! And educational, and also just beautiful. Highly recommend going If you're London based. Or not and just fancy it ๐คทโโ๏ธโจ๏ธ

A series of 20 photos capturing three exhibitions currently showing at The Welcome Collective โ Finger Talk, About That, and Being Human. The images show artwork, installations, and multiple welcoming gallery spaces. Works include visual art, film, sculpture, and text-based pieces exploring communication, identity, and what it means to be human.
Two females feature smiling in two photos. One a ginger female in blue dungarees and a white long sleeve top. And the other a dark brown haired female in a black leather jacket, red scarf and blue jeans.

Boomtown 2025...
I almost don't have the words.
I'm not sure what I expected but truly this went above and beyond. It was unlike any festival I've experienced before.
I felt the music go through me in the most amazing of ways. Gotta love the heavy Bass, and the Deaf community showed up to feel it.
Honestly, I wish I could share more about the secrets of Boomtown, tell about the story, but unfortunately that's the kind of information you have trade for ;) ๐คซ๐
I got to do what I love, with the people i love, and make some epic memories whilst I did it.
Big love to @thurlow_zak@nattyspeaks@offyellowradio@timjollylocations@juliskav@st_ep_han_iee@krayzlegz@flood_dnb@deafrave@savannah.savannah.savannah@aum_ldn_
For turning a great week, Into a magical one. ๐ค๐
Feedback re festival accessibility en route ;)
I don't know how to put that week at Glasto into words.
She's the home from home. Where the most wonderful people gather. ๐
Everyone I met was beautiful. Everyone I worked with was everything. I have so much love for the rumshack family. For the wholesomeness and beauty of 'Levelling the Field'. Thank you for bringing me back. Thank you for all being the most incredible of human beans. All the love ๐ค๐๐ค
It was magical.
I can't wait to go back ๐โจ๏ธ
Ps. The BSL Interpreters on slide 11 were next level. Big up @deafzoneglastonburyofficial . You helped make my Glasto. ๐

The degree could never have been first class without the people ๐ ๐ been the best 3 years of my life ๐
Incredible to see @deafrave 's Troi being awarded an Honorary Master of Arts by Falmouth University. A real privilege to see, and made the day even more amazing. ๐ค
And no better way to cool down after the ceremony on a hot day, than with 3 siblings swimming in their clothes ๐
I've been so incredibly lucky with the people in my life, and I love them all to the ends of the earth ๐
Next up...Masters ๐
