Amy C, Museum Education Professional, WRITER , ACTIVIST, QUEER.

A portfolio and online journal by Amy C, Museum Education Professional. Sharing original poetry, articles, artwork, and reflections on museum education, social justice, and personal values including feminism, LGBT+ rights, anti-racism, and equality. With over three years in learning and engagement roles, I contribute to Birmingham Museums Trust by fostering meaningful, inclusive experiences that celebrate diverse histories. My expertise lies in audience development, team management, and delivering creative programs that inspire a love of learning, particularly in the domains of feminism and the ancient world. At Birmingham Museums Trust, I led the development of impactful events such as the annual 'International Women and Girls in Science Day,' emphasizing collaboration and community engagement. My mission is to create accessible opportunities for learning while empowering teams and contributing to organizational growth.

I have been spending the last 6 months,

Falling back in

Utter.

Total &

Complete

love, with life.

All over again.

As though you only just woke up.

From a nightmare,

From a dream,

A long slumber.

Like something out of a fairy tale,

Told at bedtime,

To little girls who will grow up to realise there’s no one there,

At the end of the day,

To save you.

My only regret,

Is spending my whole life,

Holding my breath.

Waiting for the next tragedy,

And the constant battle with myself for not being,

Enough.

For not working hard enough.

For not being smart enough.

For not being kind enough.

For not being perfect.

When all along,

My mother was right.

You are practically perfect in every way. Always have been. Always will be.

Lots of love.
