.@BBC insisting on reporting racist rioters as 'protestors' and 'demonstrators' is a gross misrepresentation of the violence impacting communities of colour across the UK. Language matters.
This is what happens when the Tory party troops don't want racism called out as racism. You try to rescue your collapsed leadership credentials with nonsense like this.

Black Brits are responsible for putting out some of the best TV shows out right now. If you think that all we write are gang dramas, you've not been paying attention.
Go watch Champion [Netflix] or Boarders [BBC] or
Dreaming Whilst Black [Paramount] or Domino Day [BBC].
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
Still I Rise

As part of Black History Month celebrations at Kingston University I had the pleasure of welcoming Dr Tessy Ojo @Ttall to speak with our staff and students. A highlight from a successful #BHM campaign and a reminder to celebrate Black history 365 days a year 👏🏽 #EDI#BHM2023
#aproudworkmoment I had the privilege of interviewing Seyon Amosu as part of our Black History Month celebrations. He spoke about his experiences navigating the fashion industry as a queer African and the intersections of race and sexuality #BHM#BHM2023#EDI
“Don’t use other people’s clocks to tell your own time” 🙌 🕰️
Multidisciplinary artist #SeyonAmosu spoke about knowing your value, truth telling and how his cultural experiences inspired his creative journey during a talk at #TownHouseKingston to mark #BlackHistoryMonth
"Yours" by Mariah Carey! The lyrics are absolutely beautiful & Mariah's sultry vocal performance makes this such a romantic and relaxing song. Listening to "Yours" is an experience, it makes you feel like you're floating on a cloud without a care in the world.
