Our sense of culture and identity impacts how we approach and conceptualise play. Many of the black women Stacey-Ann Morris has worked with have felt a pressure to fulfil the role of the “strong black woman”. Stacey-Ann is a learning experience designer, facilitator, and educator who creates playful, inclusive, and meaningful connections related to personal and career development in work, school and community settings. She's a graduate of Harvard university, a Lego Serious Play facilitator and has designed curriculums programs and workshops at several universities and colleges. Things to considerPlay is an act of freedom, and a way to re-integrate our inner child. Play is a a form of resistance, and a birthright. As play facilitators, we need to be mindful of people’s history with the idea of play.
