[Black Girl Heard @weareBGH]

Too many employers are more concerned about optics than they are about their Black employees. It is very telling by the way they jump on the bandwagon to create ‘diversity roles’ without affecting any structural change. DO BETTER!

This RACIST/OFFENSIVE title of Agatha Christie book is labelled Rare & Collectible by @AmazonUK. If it were as blatantly #Antisemitic it won't be on its lists

Profiting on oppression of Black people & enabling racism is REPREHENSIBLE

Remove NOW & apologize promptly! @AmazonHelp

An open letter from a group of black British women eviscerating the white privilege, bullying, & the normalisation in our media of trivialising experiences of racism. Wow @Influenchers @SholaMos1 https://t.co/UXbw2oOwdS

There's a workplace phenomenon called “pet to threat.”

First, your boss loves you. Then, they dislike you after you start excelling in your role, which may be threatening to employers.

Has this ever happened to you? https://t.co/4ZJRM9erAy

"It is not the job of black people & ethnic minorities to educate white people on racism perpetuated by white people. White folks need to educate themselves on #racism."

It’s fascinating the amount of non-black women that like black men but dislike black women 📝

“I removed hair from the sanctions system, so pupils could have any hairstyle or colour, it’s entirely up to them. It’s changed our relationship with the students and the behaviour.”
