I’ve asked my mum to pile up and take a picture of all the books that I read and that she could find in her home 📚. They’re about fifty books, only a portion of what I read so far, and the writers of these books are mainly white people. Some of you might have noticed that I’ve started my personal anti-racist work, as I recently shared on Stories the cover of @laylafsaad ‘Me and white supremacy workbook’. This reading truly opened my eyes and my heart towards a matter that, on the surface, I kind of acknowledged but that in reality was unconsciously undermining all my good intentions of inclusion and understanding of other cultures. This matter is the white supremacy. My awareness of racism and race is now on a whole other level and my journey into dismantling the white supremacy principles rooted in me has just started. It will be a life long work, as Layla says, so everything that I’ve acknowledged so far is just a starting point. One of the first steps that I’m taking to educate myself in an active way is to buy and read at least fifty books written by writers of colour so if you have any recommendation please write it in the comments below or DM me. Thank you! ♥️ • • • #dismantlewhitesupremacy #whitesupremacy #writersofcolour #books #readings #educatingmyself #lifelongwork #workoflove #equality #change #london #letsstart

If you are following me since the very beginning you might know how much I like art and appreciate the connection that artists have to their soul. I’ve for example posted a lot of graffiti art from East London and I still admire it every time I walk there. As well as about my visits to the @tate , @whitecube and @vamuseum . I’ve always been intrigued by the many different ways people can find to express themselves. And the most beautiful part of this process is that someone else out there will like and buy that art because it moves something within themselves. Art is indeed a powerful tool for connecting people on many different levels and it’s fascinating me a lot although I’m not an art’s critic or have a degree in art’s history. I’m in constant search (and my search includes hundreds of screenshots) of the perfect art gallery to put up on the walls of my imaginary dreams house. I’ve shared, not long ago, on Stories many of my latest findings and I received so many DMs that I thought I might as well make it part of my IG. They might not be the most popular posts, I know you prefer to see Daphne’s messy hair instead 😜, but I believe I should share it anyway. Hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend! ♥️ 🌸This beautiful illustrations are from @aljahorvatco 🌸 • • • #art #artist #illustration #woman #inspiration #loveforart #gallerywall #beautiful #weekend #london

To celebrate International Women’s Day I’m sharing a beautiful campaign of @mothercareuk that’s all about motherhood, beauty and normalising all post partum bodies. As women we’re constantly hit by the pressure of media showing a very unrealistic image of women. Representation is important and plays a crucial role in mental and physical health. I’m very grateful for the work that @mothercareuk is doing and my hope is to see campaigns like this across all brands. The next challenge is to work on changing companies culture making space for diversity and hearing what women and non-white people have to say. Growing together is the key for an equal world ♥️ • • • #internationalwomensday #8thmarch #women #motherhood #mothercare #loveyourself #diversity #equality

This is to say a huge THANK YOU to @alrightforamum_ @mre.soeur @booksbabyandback for having us last night. You smashed it with your first live podcast and showed once again how amazing you are! You inspired the whole room with your stories, words of wisdom and friendship. Us, single mums, we’re given the huge opportunity to believe in ourselves like we never did before. The love for our children and for ourselves is making us climbing mountains without even realising it and getting on top of the world more shining and confident than ever! Yes we will still cry and we’ll still feel shit at times but looking behind at what we achieved, will always lift us up. Here is to finding ourselves, to love and to sharing. Thank you, thank you, thank you (for the wine too 😉! ♥️👯‍♂️ Time to catch up with your first podcast series 📻 • • • #motherhood #singleparenting #parenting #women #womentogether #podcast #london #shoreditch #shoreditchhouse #livepodcast

I just wanted to take a moment to say how much I appreciate the good side of this platform. With good being for me people who share real life experiences; that are making the effort to remove filters, not from their pictures but from their captions; that are trying to be true to themselves; facilitate conversations around topics that aren’t normally discussed elsewhere. If you’re curious and open enough you’ll find loads of inspiring and uplifting content and many times you’ll realise that you’re not alone, if you ever felt that way. I’d love to hear your thoughts on that. Sending love, as always 😘 • • • Shot by @emiliechanteloup • • • #thoughtoftheday #sharing #nofilter #inspiring #uplifting #community #positive #people #honest #london

I had a really interesting conversation with a dear friend of mine and came up to the conclusion that I must surround myself by open people. I swear I won’t waste my time and energy anymore dealing with people that can’t listen, that don’t open up, that aren’t kind and that don’t do any type of work on themselves. I won’t stop giving because I don’t want to change that side of myself but I’ll be more selective for sure. This is probably more a reminder post for myself but I’d love to know if anyone else feels the same way. Hope you all had a lovely Sunday xx ♥️ • • • Shot by @emiliechanteloup • • • #selflove #openpeople #awareness #thoughtoftheday #mood #sunday #london #enough

I’m not the engagement queen, I post stuff when I can and when I have something to say. I rarely have the perfect Instagram picture, the right hashtags and the look of my feed is everything but consistent. But still you’re all here. With your on point comments, mind blowing messages and powerful words. I might not know all of you personally however the good vibes I’m receiving from you are real. So this is my THANK YOU for being so amazing, supportive and kind. Never underestimate the power of your actions, even in this little squares space. Love you all ♥️ • • • Shot by @emiliechanteloup • • • #thankyou #grateful #weekend #luckygirl #love #mood

Happy Sunday people! 🌺 I haven’t posted flowers pictures in a long time 🙂 Hope you’re having a lovely weekend! I’m currently waiting for Daphne to wake up from her nap and can’t wait to play with her, squeeze her cheeks and hug her until it’s time for her to head to daddy’s home 🙁. I sometimes still find it hard to accept the hours we’re spending apart although I know this is good for everyone. It means bonding time with daddy and self-care time for me. I wonder if I will ever get used to this routine 🤔. Sending love to you all 😘 • • • #weekend #goodmorning #flowerpower #london #mother #parenting #love #mumanddaughter #singleparenting
