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.
Christmas day.
You are being shouted at, again.
And, as usual,
you are forced to make yourself small.
SHRiNKING and cowering.
Ineffectual.
Curled up, tightly,
every muscle in your body hardened, like ice.
Frozen, holding your breath.
Praying,
(if anyone, at all, is listening)
for the harsh winter to pass.
It never does.
