I was almost kidnapped at the age of 6 at Manchester Airport. My would-be abductor was foiled by my Nan beating her with a walking stick and the fact that we were surrounded by the special assistance staff.

My school did a series of 3 plays about the slave trade over 3 years. The whole cast was white except for 1 black girl (who was cast as the main slave character). I purposely only auditioned for white characters, eventually being the lead Jesse James in the last. Early 00s Catholic school I guess.
Connected to the above, participating in this play was part of my GCSE AND part of a multi-school project where we were the only participating school that had barely any diversity.
At least they portrayed Frank and Jesse James as the bad guys.
My mum has two sisters called Julie. This is because when my mum’s parents divorced, my great-grandma banned my grandad from having contact (he did nothing wrong, just Catholic divorce shame. I met him when I was 14) and both my nan and grandad remarried and had daughters called Julie.
