Listening to inspiring speakers. Amazing mental health conference @adiraorguk Thank you for creating this space to discuss Black care, love, joy, pain, abuse, survival and "thrival"
"Do not remove the kinks from your hair - remove them from your brain." (Marcus Garvey).
Thought provoking talk by Zara Adeyemi, titled "Black Hair - Detangling the Narrative"
At @adiraorguk "Mental Health, Abuse & Culture In The Black Community" conference.
@ACSfessions This be joke right? Christians who are in the streets daily handing out pamphlets trying to convert sinners with the good news?? Christians are the *most* unapologetic
@ACSfessions ...talk to her about setting boundaries with him acting like your dad, but apart from that try and make peace. The minute your mother is unhappy with him then take action, for now try to be calm and patient
@ACSfessions Dating is very difficult for single mums especially of a certain age. If he makes your mother happy then you need to put your feelings about him aside. Your mother is grown enough to have raised you, she can make her own decisions good or bad...
Don’t expect people to understand you. They love to judge & speak like they know what you’re going through. The truth is they don’t. No one does because they’ve not walked in your shoes. So don’t feel frustrated when you hear their comments. The Almighty knows. Smile & move on.
Keep your distance from those who constantly want to update you on situations you have outgrown. Tell them politely, you’re no longer interested. If they cannot respect that, it’s time to let them go, minimising future contact. Remember, your peace is everything.
@RoyalHolloway A student has just been egged and racially attacked on Egham Hill. Second attack this week. Disgusting. A full report will be submitted by morning.
@justt_ab Nah fr, 420 at Hyde Park is classed as peaceful protest. There's always organisation with the police. Like I said people will still turn up, just be informed
