I spoke to what I thought would be my toughest audience yet, but ended up being my absolute sweetest! I shared my journey with @TurnhamPrimary pupils during their assembly. I then had a more intimate discussions with their year 5 & 6 classes.#primaryschool #journalism #inspire pic.twitter.com/Dc4mfuIJc9— Simi Jolaoso (@simijourno) October 19, 2024
