In the hands of your oppressor, the Bible is a weapon. Just like they quoted Paul in Ephesians to justify slavery back then, they'll quote him now to enforce patriarchy, telling you how it's God's design, then frame your resistance to oppression as rebellion. If you fall for it?!
Trigger Warning: This post references a 400 year racial slur that has been used to dehumanize Black people. It also discusses Tourette syndrome and Coprolalia. If a social media post can provide this clarity, a global broadcaster on a 2 hour programming delay certainly could have. CC:BAFTA and BBC.
To be Black is to know that Grace will be demanded of you before accountability ever is.
And that’s exactly what played out on the BAFTA stage.
The word was the 1st insult, the expectation of grace & poise the 2nd, the non apology the 3rd, and the decision to air it even though it was NOT a LIVE SHOW & they made a decision to edit other things BUT NOT THIS is the FINAL and MOST INSULTING INSULT of ALL!
If you can - please donate to this family's GoFundMe. Prashant Sreekumar was the sole provider for the family and his widow has 3 kids to support. Making a video statement at the hospital beside her deceased husband took incredible stoicism and courage. We need to have her back
Sreekumar repeatedly told triage he was in excruciating pain. He couldn’t sit, stand and was struggling to breathe. He vomited. He was told “you’re not in acute pain. You can wait”
Did nurses honestly think a 44 yo accountant came to the ER faking a heart attack???
Yesterday, 25 girls were abducted from a high school in northwestern Nigeria
Since 2014 of 'Bring Back our Girls', over 1,500 students continue to be targeted & kidnapped by armed bandits
How many children's lives do you need before we admit there's a serious crisis here https://t.co/3u7pH5Wvnn
This rice will feed a multitude!!!!
Well done to the amazing Hilda Baci, Chef Gibbs, Chef TYB, Chef Agabus, the entire Gino team, Rent-A-Chef and everyone involved in this. It was truly amazing!

Consent doesn’t stop at the wedding altar.
In a healthy marriage, intimacy is a shared choice, not an obligation. Respecting your partner’s “yes” or “no” builds trust, love, and safety.
For your information: silence is NO, reluctance is NO. Consent must be F.R.I.E.S: Freely given, Reversible, Informed, Enthusiastic, and Specific.

If you’re a woman and you want a career, fine.
If you want a husband and babies to nurture instead, also fine.
You want both? Fine too.
You want neither? Fine!
Just make sure YOU are the one choosing.
