For most of my childhood I dealt with other kids calling me a “Bounty” cos of the way I spoke, and dealt with adults mocking what they called my “posh” accent. Their point? I wasn’t black enough.
Black British people are not a monolith. Despite what people may want you to think.

Today I interviewed people for a new role. In advance, every candidate was sent the questions. I’ve never been more impressed. It made a huge difference and really enabled more thoughtful and thorough answers. It also minimised anxiety which enabled people to shine.

Yesterday “ our” Govt won a vote on a Bill which limits our right to protest. Today it will post pics of flags, light up buildings and praise brave Russians for doing just that. Anyone see the dangerous hypocrisy here. It’s back to the Lords but little hope unless more 1/2

So while we are understandably condemning Russia for bombing Ukraine, lest not forget the atrocities in Palestine, Yemen and the recent history of Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. Those who claim to be the custodians of geopolitical virtue are often the villains of the peace.

For anyone who's writing a story and worried what people will read into, here's a tip: Everyone will read into your story what they want. It will be based on their life, and who they THINK you are. None of it is about you. None of it matters. Write what you like.

As iffff I’m a Sunday times best selling author.
Not sure who needs to hear this but traditional big publishers, like the ones who told me my book didn’t have enough of a “hook” do not always know what they are talking about…

You’ve probably seen Haiti in the news lately. Something we should never stop talking about is how after declaring independence from France (and slavery!), Haiti spent over a century compensating France for the ‘lost value of slaves’: republic.com.ng/august-septe… via @republicjournal

Her name was #SabinaNessa. A brilliant young woman, with her whole life ahead of her, just like #SarahEverard. Please pay the same attention.
