“I tell my students, when you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else”
Toni Morrison
RIP Beloved 🕊
As societies become increasingly multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural, we need greater investment in inclusivity.
Tolerance is not enough.
We must learn to respect each other and to love each other.
🗣”Black-on-Black” crime isn’t a thing.
“When a white person commits a crime against another white person, it’s just called a crime; race isn’t a factor, and that’s intentional...” My latest for @TeenVogue

The United Nations has a proud record of fighting racism & all forms of discrimination. I am proud of UN staff who are condemning racism & expressing their solidarity with the victims of hate.

Racism does not = use of “the n word.”
A person can be racist and never use inflammatory insults.
Hidden racism often proves to be the most dangerous. It kills like poison, seeping into communities via power, policies and practices.
