The Maternity Crisis
Nothing Without Us
02/15/24 • 35 min
In this solo episode, I'm going to be setting the scene for the mini series ahead. So today we are talking about equity and maternity. My starting point for the season was a story I read about the growing number of women on maternity leave who were being forced to use food banks. I started there, and this episode and this season ahead is where we went.

The Middle East
Nothing Without Us
04/03/24 • 15 min
In this solo episode, I'm going to be setting the scene for the mini series ahead.
I had planned to talk in this season about the fact that perhaps we could, as educators have conversations in our schools about the Middle East. But as time has marched on, and we find ourselves witnessing everything that has unfolded, and continues to unfold in Gaza, I find myself without any sense-making tools, or at least limited ones. When I considered the season, I intended to interview some brilliant people who held faith identities, and to talk about the way that their faith identities intersected with the violence being played out in the Middle East, and intersected with their roles as educators. But understandably, it feels too raw and too difficult for some to articulate just now. I did have some great conversations in the season, and you will hear them in the few weeks ahead. But I guess I first wanted to talk about advocacy and allyship. Because if anything came out of the conversations that I had with guests on the podcast in this season, it was about the need for us to stand in allyship with people who don't necessarily hold the same identities as us. And so for that reason, I want to share with you something I wrote a few weeks back now and sent out to my newsletter, but it feels like a really relevant and useful way to lead into the season.

Introducing our Reimagining DEI Series
Nothing Without Us
11/23/23 • 11 min
Today, I'm really excited to introduce a unique series on the Being Luminary podcast, one that's really close to my heart. Earlier this month, we hosted a sensational event. It was a summit called Reimagining DEI for a new era of ethical leadership. And it was focused on reimagining diversity, equity and inclusion work in the context of all sorts of leadership roles, whether that's coaching or service provision, consultancy, whether you are somebody that's a school leader, a charity leader, we were really looking at how we do this work across our fields. It was an event that was filled with rich discussion, I think some really interesting workshops, and just genuinely inspiring people inspiring talks from leaders across various sectors. So I'm really excited to share that we're bringing parts of this amazing summit to you through our podcast, the series isn't just going to be a replay of the summit. Actually, we're, we're repurposing some of the conversations and some of the insights and some of the wisdom that was shared across the two days. And you're not going to get the whole thing if you do want access to the whole summit, you can still get that later on towards the year we'll be sending sending out some details about that. But for the podcast, we're going to have episodes featuring our guests. And really, we're going to invite you to draw together the themes of the various conversations that we had really thinking and listening deeply to the integral role that diversity, equity and inclusion work has, in any kind of leadership. I'm going to be inviting you to draw together the strands of learning of wisdom from our guests thinking about the importance of humanity, and courage, thinking about how that comes out through all of the conversations that I had with my guests and, and also in these times that we're in, to really think about how some of these conversations can give you heart that we can enact cultural and institutional change if we want to.

A Headteacher's perspective on navigating Parental Leave policies, with Andy Bowman
Nothing Without Us
03/14/24 • 65 min
This episode is the first of a regular series of discussions between me and Headteacher Andy Bowman. Andy has bravely volunteered to appear on the podcast every series, to talk through his responses to the issue that we are thinking about, in the context of his own school and the wider community. In this episode, you’ll get some background on Andy’s career and the school that he now leads, before we deep dive into how maternity, paternity, baby loss and other stages of life are handled and could be handled better by his team.
During a career spanning 25 years, Andy has taught in a range of primary schools, writing and leading training as an Advanced Skills Teacher before becoming a deputy head in 2010. He is now enjoying his second headship leading Southville Primary School, a 620-pupil split-site school a stone’s throw from Bristol city centre.
Andy believes strongly in placing human connection and kindness at the heart of teaching, learning and leadership and promotes a values-driven approach to school development.

Pausing to reflect, with extracts from Sufian Sadiq
Nothing Without Us
05/01/24 • 29 min
It has been a privilege to have the conversations I have been holding during this series about faith and religious identity, but those conversations have also made me realise that so few people feel safe talking about these topics.
For the next two weeks, we are pausing to give ourselves the space to reflect on what we’ve heard so far, and to find ways to hold space for others within our community.
This episode contains some of my reflections on the conversations we have heard so far, and a few dates that you might consider adding to your organisation’s calendar. It also contains some extracts from my conversations with Sufian Sadiq in Episode 3.
Sufian Sadiq is Director of Talent and Teaching School at Chiltern Learning Trust.

In focus: Recognising privilege with Claire Bloor
Nothing Without Us
02/02/23 • 17 min
'For so many people in my generation who were raised with that kind of colorblind approach, they've always thought there's not no racism at all, but they haven't realised that they've internalised so much of it. Because it is in all, it's in the media, it's in the culture, it's all in there. So it's for us about kind of trying to say to people, it's okay to see that now. And we need to start talking about it, and having really deep meaningful conversations about it, and how that might be impacting on the work that we're doing.'
In this distilled episode Angie talks to Claire Bloor about her 'colourblind' upbringing in Ireland, her work with First Nations people in Australia, and her move to working with victims of sexual violence in the UK.
Claire has over 20 years’ experience working in the charity sector starting her career in Dublin as a caseworker working with homeless people, she has gone on to manage a broad range of support services in both the UK and Australia including youth justice, employment, training, education, and Aboriginal programs.

And then I was getting asked the What are you? questions so many times when I would go into auditions, that I wrote a monologue, and I it was called, I'm mixed and I walked in the room. They're like, Do you have a monologue? I was like, yes. And it started just to answer all the questions that it consists of, What are you? I'm mixed black and white. So that's how it started."

Nothing Without Us
01/19/23 • 16 min
"We're so sort of conditioned to think of writing as this solitary thing where one person tells you how it is - that collaboration is seen as, as less interesting."
