Support to develop your expertise around PMEL with creative examples and practical tips for adding these to your existing processes. I use participatory, decolonial, intersectional, and inclusive approaches.
You can download and start using everything today. These are practical tools for everyone. When I began my career, I couldn’t find the resources I was looking for at a reasonable price, written well, or informed by the real world and all its complexities. I want to correct that. PMEL is not one-size-fits-all, and that’s part of what makes it so interesting.
Feel free to use my work, but please be responsible and credit me. When I’ve shared others’ work, I’ve attributed them (as above). For example, I use The Barefoot Guide’s incredible collection of artists for each post’s title images. Everything else you see here is my intellectual property and is copyrighted.

Why I’m Moving from Wix to Squarespace
I was inspired to write this article by my friend Elmira Zadissa, with whom I’ve been discussing the importance of value-driven business practices. I moved from Wix to Squarespace about a month or so ago. I realised way too late that Wix is based in Israel. I had used it since 2018 to host my…

Resource: UNICEF Participatory Approaches
Though this is an older guide, from 2014, I still refer to it for inspiration on how to talk about participatory approaches and when they should be used, at what levels to involve different groups of people like on page 7, and from an angle of safeguarding since UNICEF’s approach focusses on child protection. Hope…
