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 am unfinished,

unrefined.

there is egg yolk in the cut on my finger.

it stings.

i really should stop gnawing at THEm.

and i am TRYING,

i PROMISE i am trying,

to make sense of it ALL.

trying To stop the constant, nervous DESTRUCTION,

of the FRAGILE,

aching paper SKIN,

AROUnd my FINGERNAILS.

(WHICh i have also chewed AT, until they bleed. I leave a trail of dark red droplets BEHind me)

life,

i find,

makes me and my creaking BONES,

feel as heavy as lead.

i CANNOt look away.

i cannot fall apart.

I bite, i SCREAM, i sob.

(all silenTly AND where no one can witness my WEAKNESS)

I cannot leave,

i love them so IMMENSELY,

With EVery beat OF MY

selfish, seLfish heart.

i do not know how else TO be.
