The death of Jason Arday highlights the denial of neurodivergence and disabilities within the black community. Said he was partially deaf in one ear, his silly ex school friend mistook it for “deaf”. His autistic diagnosis was later on in life and the same guy said he was fine.
This is one of the most important takes I’ve seen & one we should all pay attention to. Myself included.

RIP Jason Arday.
I feel sick, for Jason. Just imagining what his last few days have felt like is heartbreaking. When will there be Laws in place that hold these savages accountable for the lives the ruin? They should be serving prison time.
The British media have been murdering people in plain sight for decades. What they did to Jason Arday is sickening. It all felt very intentional. A deliberate character assassination. Glass cliff-ish.
Something has to change!
A deaf black man is opening a coffee and arts shop in south London, SE18 3TB, grand opening is 13 June. All coffee and pastries are £1 for the day, go support.
Re-mortgaged her house because of how much she believed in Black British music. She wasn’t waiting on anything or anyone to tell her what she believed in and what was worth investment.
