@Chikaokekeagulu @thisisinsider I found this article on Google. Thank tou so much for your contribution. Very insightful.

@Soliloquy_ofSPS @brolezholloway You broke it down well. Many black people feel betrayed by a benefactor of slavery and colonisation being allowed to edit a black paper. To what end really except publicity?

This is what it means to be able to eat what you also put on your hair smile 😄 😄 #livingnaturally #nochemicals

@ArchieStannumb1 @guardiannews I bet he'll say magazines are different from newspapers 😄 😁

@cdg1228 @roundthecloc @Naijiababy22 @guardiannews @TheVoiceNews didn't have to agree to the deal though. I am highly disappointed that they have given Charles and the institution he is part of, a platform to play pretend support.

[Lekia Lée @Project_Embrace]

@roundthecloc @Naijiababy22 @guardiannews You are right to a point, whether they asked him or Charles's PR reached out to @TheVoiceNews we probay will never know. But they agreed and they have to own up to that.

[Lekia Lée @Project_Embrace]

@guardiannews Why? Why would The Voice ask Charles to edit their newspaper? OK, give Charles some work to do with all the tax payers money he receives, but to help endorse such racist institution, I am disappointed in @TheVoiceNews

Racism is widespread in education. We have staff worried about returning to work next week. This past year shows there is a need for a helpline dedicated to supporting teachers in the Black community to stay in the profession. Follow & RT to amplify our work.

#Racism in #education should be treated as a #safeguarding issue, with #antiracist policies in all schools says author ⁦@jeffreykboakye⁩
Our children & young people, who are marginalised by race, are at risk if staff aren’t adequately trained https://t.co/gC8RDGEBGL

We get you and as for throwing shade, you can't reduce yourself or hide your principles because of someone else's ego. It's up to individuals to take responsibility for their choices. We'll done @seyiakiwowo 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿

In April I turned down an MBE and spoke exclusively with @BlackBalladUK where I talk about my reasons for declining an MBE + what success and self-validation mean.

Well done Scotland. We cannot continue to ignore the reality of racism and its insidious nature. We cannot heal what we do not face up to and we all need healing from the idea of race and its impact.

@ruthsinhal @behindthenetra @diverseedu @MsNatashaBoyce @Nadine_Writes @kehinde_andrews @SholaMos1 @nazirafzal @valuingcultures @MrNishKumar Yes, I am all for getting another one going as a collaboration. Safeguarding against racism is urgently needed in schools. Let's talk.

[Lekia Lée @Project_Embrace]

I had to do a safeguarding training recently and was shocked to see there was nothing to safe guard children against racism.

Eve Salomon, chair of the museum, said: "The evidence is very clear that these objects were acquired through force, and external consultation supported our view that it is both moral and appropriate to return their ownership to Nigeria."
...but of course!!

@estherarmah @BKpub @penguinrandom Fantastic work Esther. This is so needed. We all need to heal from racism. Looking forward to getting my copy.

Wait a minute @BBCNews, please explain to license fee payers how this could have been a mistake. Seems like the bar is getting lower and lower for BBC news employment criteria or maybe its always been this low for certain group of people, the ones with implicit racial bias 🤔

[Joanne Benjamin-Lewis @jayblessed1]

Did @BBCNews just mistakenly put up a pic of @sterling7 when discussing an unnamed player accused of rape. Apology needed but really thus is intentional @Nadine_Writes @EddieNestorMBE @Hair_Valley

[Lekia Lée @Project_Embrace]

@jayblessed1 @BBCNews @sterling7 @Nadine_Writes @EddieNestorMBE @Hair_Valley @BBCNews you really can't help yourselves can you? What is inherent and implicit always shows up because we cannot say this is incompetence.
