So grateful to @BlackBalladUK and @JENDELLA for giving me the space to write about my + others’ experiences with racism + xenophobia while living in Italy! V. tough thing to talk about because people who do face backlash… which is why it’s important to keep speaking!

[Black Ballad @BlackBalladUK]

Letitia (@letijarrett) had a wonderful time in South Italy, but she wondered about whether this was the same for all Black people there.

Breakfast is known as ‘the most important meal of the day’. Soon Muslims will be waking up for suhoor - the predawn meal prepared before fasting. The Muslim world is beautifully diverse & home to much breakfast inspiration

@amymaebaxter I agree with the suggestions of Budapest or Berlin, maybe also Barcelona? (lol basically anywhere with a B in it.)

seville was also good for culture + had a good party vibe, plus u have córdoba + cádiz nearby?

[Letitia Jarrett 🌸🇯🇲 @letijarrett]

@lingerie_addict Yeah there are a LOT of people who don’t have the power or recognition they feel they want offline, but get it easily by being cruel on twitter simply bc of how this app rewards “clapback” style responses. It’s a shame!
