Not my face on the BBC News website 🤣❤️ Not me presenting a @BBCNewsbeat doc alongside @leannealie Last year new standards came into place that meant that all stylists had to be trained in styling afro hair; we looked into what changes have been made and the impact it may have x
Was talking about this on IG but my aunty is turning 60 and has gotten around 90 people to go to Malta to celebrate with her.
This is why I don’t have anything to talk about with a “you don’t owe anyone anything” person because you simply do not understand community.
@hewantswealth Everyone looked shocked, then praised me, but all I could think was, that woman could’ve been me, or my sister. That’s how we’ve survived connection, compassion, and an understanding that we’re all we’ve got. & for me, that care often extends to people in general, not just Black
@hewantswealth The nurse said she couldn’t be seen with the baby, and I could see she was distressed. I asked her if she was okay, and she asked me if I could watch her baby for her appointment. I did and it felt completely natural.

If you want to get a full genetic screening and find out your genotype, you have to tell your GP that you are family planning.

A full genetic screening is of upmost importance❤️

A family including 2 kids are today homeless and Currently outside Lambeth Council. They’ve been trying to contact Lambeth Council today for assistance but haven’t had any help.
I was told they were refused entry by staff into the Civic Centre building. They’ve been directed to Brixton Police station instead.

@8tyxcllns@CheAnsah@Bellhookschild She hasn’t said that though 😅. But if someone’s paid to join, they’re likely her audience, and the question might help her see if what she’s built and promoted online actually serves the people she’s trying to target. The insight’s also key if she wants to grow or get investors.
Yesterday at @calabashfest, a woman said to me: “Men will never change until mothers raise them differently.”
And my first reaction was: fuck. It’s true. The relationship between mothers and sons is defining.
