@RevRachelMann Just read your thread and I think it is super important you stay on here, visible, audible and proud. The bullies and trolls need prayer - their decision to be hate filled rather than compassionate to something they may not understand is the worst of human nature.

@baddabyng Thank you for this! Going to listen to this, The Revolution will not be televised helped an outlier black girl at an all girl's school keep her contrarian pecker up.

@NaomiCampbell Congratulations! You have said it all, there truly is no greater love❤

@baddabyng @salenagodden Me too! Have added my top 3 for 1st Date (hypothetical as now married) discussions

[Mazzi Odu @Mazzi_B]

@salenagodden Wow, so tough, depending on life stage it would have been House of Mirth by Edith Wharton OR Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe or Thomas Hardy's Jude The Obscure, none romantic per se, all tragic but all speaking to larger historical and socioeconomic themes which is my ish

This is a brilliant read. If you love jewellery, are passionate about craft or seeking creative inspiration take 10 mins at lunchtime to read this wonderful story about jeweller #JarietOloye by journalist @Mazzi_B #goldsmithsstories #supportingcraftspeople #africanjewellery

[Mazzi Odu @Mazzi_B]

@SarahjJurado Thank you so much and I am delighted you enjoyed the article! @JarietOloye is a phenomenal artist whose work has been a bit too much of an industry insider's best kept secret!

[Mazzi Odu @Mazzi_B]

What a privilege it was to interview the amazing #JarietOloye for @GoldsmithsCo a jewellery artist and object maker fusing techniques from the West and Africa to stunning effect! Read all about it below #jewelleryartist #jewellerywriter #africanjewellery https://t.co/XFKtF3JcGY

What's in a name? Absolutely everything. For years, Africans especially those in the Diaspora have had to deal with the laziness/hostility to a simple request to spell or pronounce our name correctly. This shirt is a true sign of progress

@j_mcconnachie I felt this the first time it came out but because it was the anthem of most of my girlfriends, kept quiet, and to think that was before SM and peak group think!

[Mazzi Odu @Mazzi_B]

@neomadesign lovely as per!

[Mazzi Odu @Mazzi_B]

@MAkindolie @KingsCollegeNHS @CliveKay All truly well deserved for the amazing work you do throughout the year! (In the spirit of full disclosure, we are friends #irl 😊)

Theresia Kyalo: The Jewellery Rule Breaker On A Mission https://t.co/2O1RXdt6lQ Is #wcw still a thing? Well even if it is not, let me indulge in further admiration of the incredible interdisciplinary artist @TheresiaKyalo who I had the pleasure of interviewing for #MagnusOculus.

[Mazzi Odu @Mazzi_B]

@j_mcconnachie What is with Children's publishing and the cult of celebrity authors. We all know most works have the assistance of a ghost author, so why not make space for legit, original voices? I return to my old school childhood faves for my 2 year old until further notice

[Mazzi Odu @Mazzi_B]

@TheresiaKyalo It was such a pleasure, you are a real one, doing real work, the sky is truly the limit!

[Mazzi Odu @Mazzi_B]

@piersmorgan They think the woe is me crap is 'relatable ' when actually it is more living on another planet than Marie Antoinette's farm in Versailles
