Today marks 5 years since Folajimi ‘Jimi’ Olubunmi-Adewole, 20, died after heroically attempting to save a woman from drowning in the River Thames in what was described as an act of sheer bravery.
Rest in peace Folajimi Olubunmi-Adewole 🙏🏾🕊️

I understand it can be hard for readers halfway around the world to absorb headlines like this over & over. Fatigue for stories of faraway grief is natural.
But every one of these families is shattered, possibly beyond repair. Please do read what my colleagues are documenting.
The fundraiser is at £3.5k. The family of Edna is looking for £5k to send her home to Kenya. This is a specific call to UK people, can we raise the last £1.5k, Edna lost her life here, let us help family have peace.

A black woman from Kenya disappeared in the UK and was found dead in a body of water.
Barely anyone reported on it.
No one is saying her name.
She’s being forgotten.
Melissa is doing incredible work to raise awareness about cases no one else will report on.
