This week’s GroupThink Piece is Your Queen Is A Reptile, @SonsOfKemet third album. With each track named after different women of colour - Mamie Phipps Clark, Angela Davis, Yaa Asantewaa - this album challenges patriarchy, British nationalism, colonialism, and the monarchy. 1/3

We’re *still* thinking about the Majority/Minority binary for our very first GroupThink and love this piece by Asma Istwani. She seeks to disrupt what we consider as the majority though collage.
