I need kelela to give Manhattan a break and come to the Bronx. I’m tired of city scapes and prestige of black art being wasted on platforming a city so hostile to black life. Leave the romanticism of Manhattan behind
You can’t build community when you follow pages in YOUR city that purposely go around and make fun of drug addicts, prostitutes, and disabled people in videos. I’ve seen so many people preach they’re for the people only to laugh with the bigots making fun of those people

Her name is Gina Martin. She was at a music festival in London when a man pushed his phone between her legs and took a photo under her skirt. She reported it to the police immediately. They told her it wasn't a criminal offence. There was nothing they could do.
She went home and decided that was unacceptable. With no legal background, no political connections and no funding she launched a campaign to make upskirting a criminal offence in England and Wales. She petitioned. She lobbied MPs. She spoke publicly about what had happened to her. The government initially blocked the bill.
She kept going. The Voyeurism Act passed in January 2019. Upskirting now carries up to two years in prison. Scotland followed. Other countries are following. A woman at a festival with no lawyer, no funding and no political connections rewrote the law for an entire nation in eighteen months.
