Bumper day yest, between the #PowerofYouth Festival and #FEASummit20. SO much to chew on for weeks, but some highlights:

'We're naive if we think young people don't know about the issues facing the world - social action empowers them with the agency to act on them'
'I was going to have to fight to have my identity, always in pursuit of myself & my identity as a young black woman because of these boxes that I had been put in'  @clairemmadz

'Now I stand so proudly in my blackness. Nobody can tell me my hair isn't professional' @CollisLanai
'We walk, live and breathe our identities, we know how to solve our own issues and organisational issues. It shouldn't take a crisis for people to realise that people of disadvantage and disability have the solutions.' @GeorgeFielding1
Ending with Vanessa Ogden of @_TheFEA, remembering that young people are at the heart of our work, so that 'we can see them over the horizon and into a future that is better'.

All the amazing young people I've seen this week makes me so confident about the future. #PowerofYouth
