Story
Please support by donating £5.00. We would love to kickstart our 20k fundraiser and raise at least £555 this weekend (Fri 23rd to Sun 25th Oct.) We started with £555 as a target and increased it to £1555 because of your great generosity and are going to push again and increase to 2k! Thank you so, so much. #5for55 I am so grateful to have made it to 55 years and proud that in that time I have been a child of the almighty, a graduate, a television presenter, a promotions manager for Britain’s best black newspaper, a senior leader in education, a school governor, a charity trustee, a wife, a mum, a grandma, a pneumonia survivor, a heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery survivor, a cancer survivor, an author and the UKs only publisher of books written solely by Black children aged 6 to 15 years. So no long ting, just £5 for 55 years please. #5for55! You can leave a birthday message once you donate. If you are on my socials or in my contacts list, me and my authors will be bugging you all weekend. Please give #5for55 today! Please share at least 5 times far and wide. Sent with much love and appreciation. Bless you all. Juliet x

4 years agoHello All, Books have gone to all Hackney schools and we are halfway through the Haringey schools. Facebook requests have now been posted and we have been overwhelmed with requests from Headteachers who saw our campaign. You all have made a lot of schoolchildren very happy. Not the guy in the Post Office. It takes him over an hour to type in every postcode so tries to hide when I walk in with all the boxes :)

4 years agoOur Roots in all London School Libraries - Update 2 Our focus when mailing out Our Roots will be Hackney, Haringey, Brent and any grassroots organisation that works with young people, but we are giving priority to my Just Giving & FB family. So, if you know of a teacher who works in a primary or secondary school in London, please email the name of the teacher and the school, to blackjacmedia@gmail.com and we will send. Thank you all again so much for helping us to share the stories of an inspiring generation. Much love, Juliet x
