Today, we celebrated Eostre, the pagan goddess of spring who symbolises new life and is associated with hares & eggs, by making Easter baskets, playdough chicks & salt-sand eggs. Community Energy Newham joined us to recycle old magazines into badges! And we all enjoyed the sun!😎
#theUPgarden is designed to be as low maintenance as possible but we are v grateful to our community gardeners who give up time every week to make it extra welcoming to visitors of all species. Drop in to give them a hand any Wednesday 4-5pm to help keep it a free space for all!
Our broad bean plants have flowered! Whilst we hope that people leave them alone until ready for our community gardeners to harvest as reward for their hard work, the flowers can be admired by all, especially bees & ladybirds whilst nectar is scarce during early Spring. 🐝🐞
As well as the daily upkeep & regular events you see at #theUPgarden we meet with other local & grassroots initiatives to support each other's aims through shared advice, connections & collaborations. Contact @newham_one to join the Forest Gate & Maryland Community Groups forum!

🎬 From Igbo Roots to Hollywood Royalty, The Story of Chiwetel Ejiofor. Most people know his face. Not enough people know his story. Chiwetel Umeadi Ejiofor was born in Forest Gate, London, to Nigerian parents of Igbo descent. His father was a doctor. His mother a pharmacist. Both had fled Nigeria during the civil war and rebuilt their lives in England with nothing but education and determination. That spirit went straight into their son. Then tragedy struck. At just eleven years old Chiwetel was in Nigeria visiting family when the car he and his father were travelling in collided with a lorry. His father was killed instantly. Chiwetel survived with permanent scars on his forehead. He was eleven years old, in a foreign country, and had just lost his father. He went home to London and threw himself into acting. By thirteen he was already performing at the National Youth Theatre. By nineteen Steven Spielberg personally cast him in Amistad before he even finished drama school. He walked out of LAMDA and straight into Hollywood without looking back. What followed was one of the most decorated acting careers any British actor of his generation has built. Dirty Pretty Things. Love Actually. Kinky Boots. Children of Men. American Gangster. Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Half of a Yellow Sun, where he told an Igbo story on a global screen. The Lion King, where his voice became Scar for a new generation. But it was 12 Years a Slave in 2013 that stopped the whole world. His portrayal of Solomon Northup, a free Black man kidnapped and sold into slavery, was so devastating and so precise that critics ran out of words trying to describe it. He won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor. He received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. He was awarded an OBE in 2008 and a CBE in 2015 by the British Crown for his services to the arts. Over 53 awards in total across a career that is still going. And then in 2019 he went back to Africa. He wrote, directed and starred in The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, a film about a Malawian boy who saved his village from famine using a windmill he built from scrap. He took the camera to the continent and told an African story with African dignity. The film won the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Directing. His middle name is Umeadi. He kept it. He has always kept it. The scars on his forehead from that accident in Nigeria are still there. He has never hidden them. He once said that everything that shaped him as an actor came from understanding loss at an early age. An Igbo boy who lost his father at eleven on African soil went on to make the whole world feel something. That is not just talent. That is what happens when Igbo roots hold a person steady no matter how far they travel. 🖤🎬 Did you know his full story? Share this so more people do.
