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.

You stare down at your phone.

Maybe if you turn your phone off,

something you haven’t done in years,

the need to reply,

‘It’s okay.’

To forgive, oestensibly,

but never forget, what they did will go away.

You would rather not,

engage in yet another conversation about,

why they don’t want you anymore,

about how unloveable you really are.

You don’t have the strength to argue.

And the usual strength,

forgiveness,

refuses to show its timid face this time.

All you have is your armour. All you have is yourself.
