I am one of a handful Black harpists in the UK. I am currently playing on a 27 string Celtic harp, but I now need a harp with more range.

I'd like this one but can't afford it; maybe someone will see this and gift it to me!

@bencsmoke Try doing that with two children! That's when it gets crazy.

There remains a 4x difference in maternal mortality rates amongst women from Black ethnic backgrounds and a 2x difference amongst women from Asian ethnic backgrounds compared to white women, emphasising the need for a continued focus on action to address these disparities.

It's rare that we hear of the impact that the legacy of enslavement has on Black women - this is a necessary conversation that needs to be had.

Another example of the deeply inherent racist embedded in our police force. @jqjasonkew have you seen this?

@RichieBrave Honestly, I'm looking forward going back to my desk. Working from home with small children is a myth. That said, I'm also concerned because I anticipate a second wave and know that the government consistently and systematically neglects Black people...once again we're at risk.

[Mackayla Forde @ProBLKProWoman]

@vicderbyshire @BBCOne I personally cannot stand the term. It's misleading and grossly places all ethnicity into an English friendly acronym that blurs all of our cultures, customs and beliefs for the sake of convenience. And not ours.
