The Senegalese Opposition leader Ousmane Sonko who is running for Presidency in next year’s election was sentenced to two years for “corrupting the Youth” The People have Responded IMMEDIATELY. Senegal is now ungovernable!!! #Senegal

Anyone know the best way to connect with @VirginAtlantic since the #chat via 'manage my #booking' goes as far as this point 👇🏿 before hanging for almost 2 hours? Tried twice. Can't DM either; it redirects you to chat. #VirginAtlantic #CustomerService #airtravel #Flights #help

THANK YOU @BWGovernment for pursuing (over generous) #equity with @DeBeers for #wealth derived from our #resources. PLEASE don't yield. How about a #tender? The example you're setting is POWERFUL & overdue! 💙🖤🤍🇧🇼 #Africa #Botswana #diamonds #mining https://t.co/1xfYfbd8oA

In time for International Day for #Women & #Girls in #Science tomorrow, I'm so excited to share this #partnership with @theUKESF to get more girls into #electronic #engineering ! Great #career facing a #talent & #diversity shortage. #WomenInSTEM https://t.co/16CcA6Tvze

The ONE piece of data intended to identify #police officers was left out of a #complaint about a police officer throwing his literal weight on a handcuffed #Black #woman obviously non compos mentis, being restrained by a 2nd officer @ #Highbury @TfL. @BTP @ITV @MayorofLondon #BLM

[Mari-Anne Chikerema Chiromo 🖤🇿🇼 #BLM @MariAnneChiromo]

So the #ShoulderBadge no I gave MANY times in my complaint against a @metpoliceuk officer yday was somehow* left off the write up, as was the fact that the officer cancelled the @NHSuk #ambulance I'd called for a #woman in obvious #mental distress. Interesting. #BlackLivesMatter

[Mari-Anne Chikerema Chiromo 🖤🇿🇼 #BLM @MariAnneChiromo]

Such a proud #African always, but especially after the historic achievement of @EnMaroc !! First #football team from #Africa to male it to the #semifinals of the @FIFAWorldCup ! #Belgium, #Spain & #Portugal are HUGE teams so this achievement didn't come easy. SO PROUD! 🇲🇦🥳🌍

[Mari-Anne Chikerema Chiromo 🖤🇿🇼 #BLM @MariAnneChiromo]

MANY layers to explore in the @JeremyClarkson incident! #Bullying, #misogyny, #Misogynoir, #genderviolence, #racism, #allyship & #women who don't support other women ie @RoyalFamily & #VictoriaNewton (editor of @TheSun).

But also people power! 🥳💪🏿🙌🏿

The #agriculture and #food sector accounted for 15% of the GDP of Eastern & Southern #Africa. With the right support and investments, these sectors have tremendous potential to create wealth across the region: https://t.co/KXwBtAkV2q

@colorfullstory @KGuilaine Done and done. FOR #Black #women doesn't mean against all others. We have VERY unique struggles that we sometimes just need truly #safe & not just protected spaces to be US in without the effort of explaining/justifying. And here we are explaining/justifying that need. 👑🔥🙌🏿🖤

[Mari-Anne Chikerema Chiromo 🖤🇿🇼 #BLM @MariAnneChiromo]

An all white judging panel....for #TheCurryAwards? And a white host? And #Churchill references? Aaaand a #racist "joke"? At this point, it's like this is just a persistent punking. Just wow... @CurryAward #inclusion #authenticity #RepresentationMatters #performative

[Mari-Anne Chikerema Chiromo 🖤🇿🇼 #BLM @MariAnneChiromo]

The @FIFAWorldCup has shone a light on more than just #global #football #talent. The casual #racism & #biased determination around #humanrights ie what they are, who gets them & when to fight for them is something I've covered in my latest @LinkedIn post.

A case study of surface level #diversity vs true diversity that leads to #change through #representation & #inclusion of different #value & #backgrounds. What #policies or #changes will reflect the #ethnicity & #heritage being celebrated as a #win beyond the optics? #RishiSunak

[Mari-Anne Chikerema Chiromo 🖤🇿🇼 #BLM @MariAnneChiromo]

Interesting how anyone would be so audacious & tone deaf as to ACTUALLY applaud themselves for stopping something they should never have started. I mean WOW! #FawltyLogic #colonialism #slavery #BritishEmpire

[Mari-Anne Chikerema Chiromo 🖤🇿🇼 #BLM @MariAnneChiromo]

So multiple @bedspolice #officers felt threatened by an 80+ yr old *armed* with his walking aid, now described as a "wooden implement" & left him bruised...after they turned up at the wrong address in the middle of the night? Do better. #PoliceBrutality #UK #empathy #Police #Beds

Wishing a SUPER happy birthday to my friend & partner in #progress, @shedza10c! May you be #blessed beyond any expectations you have, & celebrate MANY more birthdays full of #love, #happiness, success & the kind of #health that enables you to do this! 🤯🙌🏿🇿🇼👑 #legend #Zimbabwe

[Mari-Anne Chikerema Chiromo 🖤🇿🇼 #BLM @MariAnneChiromo]

I'm flabbergasted... So 2 anniversaries post #GeorgeFloyd, this is what #progress looks like for #Black people, & what protection looks like for #Black #women? Wow. All those #antiracism commitments & declarations, but when it's time for action, back to zero. #BlackLivesMatter

[Mari-Anne Chikerema Chiromo 🖤🇿🇼 #BLM @MariAnneChiromo]

I'm going to need to hear what POSSIBLE reason (I use that in the most liberal terms) @UCLan can have to #suspend the #Black #students who called out highly inflammatory, upsetting #racist symbolism & language. I thought we were encouraging speaking out 😡😤?! #antiracism #BLM

Less than 48 hrs before our #flight, despite #complaint & request for urgent response via #WhatsApp, website & #Twitter channels, not a single response from @KLM @KLM_UK so still no checked baggage for a long haul flight. What a way to start a #holiday. #customerexperience #KLM
