Conversations with an International Teacher of Colour Podcast
This is a series of conversations with an international teacher of colour. The idea is to reach out to international schools, international organisations and international recruitment agencies to talk about how they are making systemic changes with regards to racial equity in their institutions. I was recently mentioned in TIE Online's newsletter: June 2021 edition.

Websites

In 2015, the Physical and Health Education in the MYP Group was established as a space for sharing ideas, asking questions and collaborating with other practitioners.
​
In 2020, the International Teachers of Colour Facebook Group was established, I saw the need for a continued conversation amongst all international teachers of colour.

Articles and professional networks

​The BAMEd Network represents educators of colour. The network it allows me to reach out and connect with teachers to establish training and learning opportunities.
The Times Educational Supplement has strongly encouraged educators to express their experiences, ideas and thoughts on a variety of educational issues. In 2020, I wrote this article.
