We need the leaders of African & Caribbean nations to condemn the continued violence against African-Americans and the entire African diaspora wherever they live. Africa, these are YOUR people they are killing! Speak up! #BlackLivesMattter
Every day black people stand up to racists like #ChristianCooper quietly hoping they don't end up like #GeorgeFloyd. #BEINGBLACKISNOTACRIME

What happened to #GeorgeFloyd is what my white, racist neighbours wished happened to me. Lots of #AmyCooper types live in Europe too and they will and have weaponised the police against black people daily.
Africa is at the epicenter of the digital revolution 🙌🏾 Great talk by @OlaStaehler #africanwomenintech #lwtsummit @lesbiantech
