Born in Jamaica in 1925, Carl Vaughan left in October 1942 intent on joining the Royal Air Force, beginning a journey that, via Florida, London and the University of Aberdeen, would culminate in him becoming Scotland’s first black headteacher. https://t.co/8k8Vc7Ojq2 #BHM2020

Nigeria is a failed state. They imposed a last minute curfew. Removed cameras, switched off all the lights and proceeded to let armed forces shoot at innocent, peaceful protesters. All because people want their basic human rights. The government cannot get away with this #EndSARS

Today is World Mental Health Day and we want to shine light on the stigma of mental illness in Black Communities. #WorldMentalHealthDay #worldmentalhealthday2020 #BlackMentalHealth #MentalHealth #mentalhealthday #MentalHealthAwareness

[AUSA BAME Forum @ausaBAME]

Though it must be remembered that mental illness is not the cause but, rather the effect. Systemic racism and discrimination severely impact mental health in BAME communities...
