Changing how we view racism and showcasing the beauty of mixed heritage

Reading some of the facebook comments made me sad. Luckily a lot have been deleted, unluckily I have no evidence to prove I received racial abuse.

I posted this on fb and insta, and some thought this was a dig at "white culture." I'm 100% aware of the complexities and diversities of European music.

But in the same way that people can generalise "African music" into one category I'd love to hear the European equivalent

What is European music? Looking for examples of a European feel/groove.

Twice more she spoke about paintings of Black people and used different language. But on the last painting she told me how much she enjoyed painting c*l**red skin. I said dark skin, then she said dark skin as well.

This weekend I questioned why an elder referred to her beautiful painting of a black man as "c*ol*ured." I tried to be amicable, and nobody left the conversation offended, to my knowledge.

I don't know if she will change; she's offered to give me the painting.

I said 'lol' even though it wasn't funny so idk why I laughed 😅

Just had an interview about positive representation as a princess performer and I cried because it meant so much to be what I didn't have as a child lol

[All Mixed Up @AllMixedUpUp]

Sometimes castings for "Black performers" includes people like me and sometimes it doesn't and that's okay! It can just be tricky knowing who they are looking for!

When I walk around Ipswich, it is very multi cultural, but when I go to art events it's not. How do we address this?

Black men what’s the worse excuse you’ve heard from bouncers when you’ve been denied entry to a venue?

Thank you @CollisLanai for coming through with words of wisdom when I was panicking

[All Mixed Up @AllMixedUpUp]

@Colin_Dutton87 Thank you! I might sleep on it and see how I feel- give you a text if I need to!

[All Mixed Up @AllMixedUpUp]

Really struggling with being blamed for bringing up microaggresions right now. Could do with someone to talk to please, feeling really broken

Anyone who was following my work last year should have seen the fabulous conversation I had with Mars Lord around words and calling people out and then in!

A conversation well worth watching @_MarsLord
