Saddened to hear of Kanya’s passing. It was an honor to be in her presence this year at the @MOBOAwards which she founded. She was a pioneering British woman who fearlessly built a platform for our community, giving a voice and recognition to artists who deserved to be seen and celebrated. Rest in peace and power. 🕊️
Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.
Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.
Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.
Whole time, it shoulda been “Support Black Workers” not “Support Black Businesses”. That was a terrible solution to the problems we face. It shoulda have always been about the collective as a community and workers, not owners. I’m upset I fell for it myself, but I’ve learned.
“The greatest mistake of the movement has been trying to organize a sleeping people around specific goals. You have to wake the people up first, then you'll get action.”

Rest in Peace Willie Colón 🕊️
A towering voice in Latin music, a cornerstone of the Fania All Stars, and an architect of a sound that defined an era and reshaped generations. Forever in the music.
A 21yr old Black Man named Kyle Bassinga was found lynched in Marietta Georgia, we already know the news isn’t covering this so I’m bringing awareness to it.
Joanne Bland passed yesterday, lifelong civil rights activist and legend the Selma movement. At age 8 she became the youngest person ever jailed for civil rights protests. She was arrested at least 13 times for nonviolent protest action by age 11.
Many of you will remember Suleiman Al Obaid, the Palestinian football legend killed last year.
His widow and five children are still in Gaza, living in extremely difficult conditions. Suleiman was their only support.
