So a massive thank you to everyone who donated, share a post, read an article, spoke to someone about what we were up to, cheered us along, came to an event, donated art, bought art, engaged with our social media. We couldnt have done it without YOU!!!!

What Sarah Read Next with Uju Asika & Raising Boys Who Do Better
​
Raising Boys who Do Better is an invitation for parents of boys, parents of daughters, aunties, uncles, godmothers, godfathers, teachers, community leaders and anyone who cares about young males in their life to ask; how we can raise boys who are empowered to stand up for what is right?
As well as her own anecdotal experiences, Uju Asika who is a parent of boys herself, explores confronting toxic masculinity. She delves into the hot-button issues affecting boys today- from education to sexism to power and consent. Raising Boys Who Do Better looks at bringing up boys in the era of #MeToo and Black Lives Matter.
