@EsieMensah You are deserving...

[Zahra Badua @BaduaBaffoe]

@N_Hamilton_ @TurnOutRadio @PeggyBakerDance So glad I got to witness this beautiful conversation

[Zahra Badua @BaduaBaffoe]

@EsieMensah Well, they hosted the Pan Am games and feel they can host the World Cup. On paper Toronto is a multi cultural city, in reality well....However to play the devil's advocate this could be an opportunity for BIPOC artist to get exposure as the open calls will be coming in shortly.😂

[Zahra Badua @BaduaBaffoe]

@AmeleyM @EsieMensah I agree with @AmeleyM

[Zahra Badua @BaduaBaffoe]

@EsieMensah They are recuperating the monies lost over the past two years.

[Zahra Badua @BaduaBaffoe]

@EsieMensah You forgot we live in Canada. 🤣

[Zahra Badua @BaduaBaffoe]

@EsieMensah @YourMorning @JessicaSmithCTV @_NattyP Such a great interview

[Esie Mensah @EsieMensah]

Umm so how we feeling about this?!? Cuz if I didn’t know better this looks like cultural appropriation.

J’Ouvert is apart of many cultures and has deep spiritual meaning and is now patented by Michael B Jordan...

Thoughts?

@AmeleyM @EsieMensah @TaylorLorenz No comment

Although I'm relieved for the verdict. I'm wondering what's next?

Will they fix the police and justice system or was all this just to appease the world?

Will Derek Chauvin be the rule of accountability or was he just the sacrificial lamb?

Today a Black man's death weighed more than a white man with the shield of blue's privilege.

If it's a state of emergency then why are the malls open
