Veteran news anchor Jon Snow has shared that he’s living with dementia, speaking publicly for the first time to raise awareness of a condition affecting around 1 million people across the UK.
Jon and his wife, neurologist Dr Precious Lunga, are supporting Alzheimer’s Society @alzheimerssoc and shared the story of Jon’s diagnosis in @DailyMail as part of our Defeating Dementia campaign with the newspaper.

We’ve partnered with Jon, in association with @Channel4, on a powerful new documentary airing on 20 June. Jon Snow: A Last Big Story looks at how he’s navigating life with dementia, and how, when we all come together, we can change the story.
Thank you to Jon and Precious for their courage and openness to bring much-needed attention to dementia 💙

There are not enough words that can fully encapsulate the impact of someone so committed to the profiling and uplifting of Black music in this country.
Ms Kanya's legacy is one of such cultural and community significance that it shall be known across many generations.
RIP.
I know he was innocent and I suppose that matters but here’s what gets lost in that discourse YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KILL THE GUILTY EITHER! Stealing is NOT a death penalty crime. We have to resensitize ourselves to DUE PROCESS for Black people too! There’s a process…
Part of British culture is booing someone for doing the right thing.
When we start allowing corporations to get away with shrinkflation. We all lose out.

Apparently that UK judge that let three teenage rapists go free is known for light sentences for sexual crimes. The longest sentence was 36 months. He needs to be in prison.
If she killed them though, the judge would have no understanding or grace for her and would imprison her. So my question to a patriarchal society is .. what do you want women to do?
