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.

And to think,

i have spent my entire life,

running,

as fast as i fucking can,

away from the violence,

from the anger,

the guilt

And the grief.

all things i was born with.

that consistently beat out from my heart,

radiate heat,

As they flow around my body,

through my blood vessels,

Faster than the speed of light,

spreading,

like a plauge.

until i am consumed.

just,

To be labelled,

when i finally stop running,

As nothing more than,

Violent, angry and guilty.

whilst,

i,

am grieving,

grieving the life i should have had,

if i had not spent all those years running.

running as fast as i fucking could away from,

What i guess is my true nature.

Away from the knife that has been poised at my throat,

My whole life.

frozen.

always terrified.

maybe i should,

let them sacrifice me.

Do something good.

please the mighty gods.

who, in reality are indifferent to our screams.

we all die in the end, anyway.
