We need a youth focused - POC inclusive reactive and TikTok / Short Form Video political show and now! We need rapid anti racist & anti fascist educational material that breaks down theory & progressive arguments for people. Our nonchalance will lead us into dystopia.

Never has the country been as failed as it has been recently by the violent, racist riots in the last days. We know the mental health impact that this trauma can have for communities across England. We stand against hate. Always.

The launch of the Black Mental Health Manifesto last week was special, creative and centred ancestral ways of sharing knowledge and stories. Watching this video back has served as the reminder that we needed today that there is hope, and lots of joy when we come together and unite in community🙏🏽

Enjoyed watching this brilliant episode on grief, specifically a book by C.S Lewis called ‘A Grief Observed’ by Inspyre. Grief is something we definitely don’t talk about enough in our community & something we need to talk about more youtu.be/EYIp9YgvwcI?si… 🙏🏾

My father was attacked yesterday in front of his house. I’m not in the country or else I would’ve done something, I’ve tried to do as much as I can digitally. They took his phone and wallet and cut his face and nose. I’ve got video footage of the attacker and also a rough look.

Hello TL! I'm looking to reach out to UK-based people who have an interest in/are advocating against colourism and/or skin lightening. If you know of any people let me know!

The Grenfell Tower inquiry’s final report is out today for those who were affected. 7 years since the fire I can only imagine how they’re feeling. I know many will be thinking of them as well 💚

It angers me that for the last 7 years, these same individuals responsible have been evading accountability, moving on with their lives freely with new jobs, some even continuing to work in the housing/building sector. Some on 6 figure salaries, living out the life of luxury.

Good morning all, I'll be finalising my book on the gentrification of Hackney this December! But...I'm still keen to hear from anyone who wants to share their views about gentrification in the borough over the decades. You can fill out the survey here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
