@AfricanPostmark @airfrance @AirFranceUK Thanks for retweeting. No coordination between London and Freetown. I wonder if this service is only kept for global south passengers. Whatever it is, it’s a shambles

[Joseph Conteh RIBA @MadeinShenge]

@airfrance @AirFranceUK I left Heathrow airport on 2nd April, T3 flight AF1681- now in Freetown and my bags in limbo. You call this a world class airline? please put them on next flight. I’m tired of the bs!! I can’t begin to explain my disgust - sort it out!

@Sylviie_J Great! I will reach out soon. Congratulations once again

[Joseph Conteh RIBA @MadeinShenge]

The stories are many. The reason you haven’t heard. Because they’ve been muted. The society ensured this and made us feel doubtful. coincidentally? But the hairline cracks are superficially intrinsic! Ladies and gents, life and hope in @Sylviie_J piece!!

[Sylvia @Sylviie_J]

[Joseph Conteh RIBA @MadeinShenge]

From my dearest brother, I have many of them and I love them dearly. And I know we may not talk about it often- just want to let you know I feel all of your pain and it’s alright to be down - but we will move on collectively caring for our #BlackMentalHealthMatters

[Crying in the Wilderness Productions @cryingwildernes]

Due to the postponement of our production, Conundrum, at the Young Vic, we will be providing, over the next 3 days, an extract of our play for Mental Health Awareness Week in association with @youngvictheatre @ThriveLDN @BlackThrive.
