Three bold films by three Black-British writers 🎞️

“This film came out of my desire to flip the trans narrative and reclaim power that often isn’t afforded to trans characters.” - Leah Kirby on the film DUALITY. @creativehumbleb https://t.co/2df1j8TXI4

UK people, kind reminder that if you earn (pre tax):

£37,000 - you're in the 75th percentile of earners
£28,400 - you're in the 60th percentile of earners
£22,800 - you're in the 50th percentile of earners

Anything > 50k = top 7% pre tax.

People are VERY poorly paid here.

There's been some appalling practice from a few orgs recently - thoughtless rejections, bad communication, lack of transparency. Which got me thinking, freelancers & artists: what's the kindest thing an org has done/can do for you? Can we collate some examples of best practice?

Great to see Claudia Jones celebrated today! An activist, feminist, journalist, orator & community organiser, Jones founded & became the editor-in-chief for the West Indian Gazette & Afro-Asian Caribbean News, a key newspaper for Britain’s Black community.
