Pls take two minutes to listen to her entire response not just the one sentence highlighted in the caption. She lays it out PERFECTLY.
"I'll first say a big shout out to Mike and Delroy, like let's continue to honor them for how they handled that in real time, the grace and the dignity that they exercised, and the whole home team, everybody that was out there, like really carried themselves well. I think the events this weekend exposed a couple things - Institutionally, we still don't understand what inclusion means."
"Just because you invite someone into a space, but you don't provide the necessary resources to keep them and everyone else in that room safe by them being there, that's not inclusivity. That's exploitation."
"That man's disability got exploited that night, and it led to multiple offenses. That's the BAFTA's fault. And then the BBC, to air what they aired is careless."
"And not like some haphazard accident, no, like a real lack of care was exercised for those two Black men. And we know the BBC knows how to take care of what they care about, right, because they censored a bunch of other... they went so far as to make sure certain things weren't topics of conversation."
"They censored Akinola's speech, the director of My Father's Shadow, which is an amazing film, by the way. So you censored one Black man, you failed to protect two others, and our production designer, Hannah, you do not care for our dignity, our humanity."
"You want to celebrate our art, but you won't protect, and that's why we celebrate sinners. That's why we celebrate Ryan. That's why we show up to the NAACP, because those are spaces where we felt safe, where we feel safe."
- Jayme Lawson
Yesterday was heavy. The world is heavy. I felt the heartbreak of it all and the obligation to stand in that moment as a vessel of hope. The only thing more powerful than hate is love 💕
A message for America.
STOP trying to deny what made America great it makes you look small and insignificant.
America is great BECAUSE of immigrants not in-spite of them. Jesus was not a white country singer, he was a refugee. So I think that makes MAGA the Pharisees.

Kendrick Lamar grew up seeing family and friends struggle with substance abuse, he experimented young but chose full sobriety for control, clarity, and to break the cycle.
He's a vocal advocate for drug free living, proving you can thrive creatively without it. Regarding this, I personally believe Kendrick counts as an inspiration and good role model for our kids. His good grades, Grammy wins, solid stance in his belief, sobriety, etc
A big congratulations to Kendrick Lamar for yet another Grammy Win 👏🏾
We’re being desensitized.
Don’t lose your empathy.
Watching people die on your phone isn’t normal.
Remember to take breaks, take care of yourselves, your loved ones and your community.
Billie Eilish condemns the Trump administration over ICE violence and civil rights violations in new award speech:
“We’re seeing our neighbors being kidnapped, peaceful protesters being assaulted and murdered, our civil rights being stripped, resources to fight the climate crisis being cut for fossil fuels and animal agriculture destroying our planet, and people’s access to food and healthcare becoming a privilege for the wealthy instead of a new basic human right for all Americans. It is very clear that protecting our planet and our communities is not a priority for this administration. And it’s really hard to celebrate [this award] when we no longer feel safe in our own homes or in our streets. I have this platform and I think it’s my responsibility to use it, so I feel like I’m just doing what anyone in my position should be doing.”
Hockey player Jesse Kortuem publicly comes out as gay, crediting ‘Heated Rivalry’ with helping him share his story:
“I know many closeted and gay men in the hockey world are being hit hard by Heated Rivalry's success. Never in my life did I think something so positive and loving could come from such a masculine sport. I've struggled the last few weeks to put these emotions into words, fearing the impact on team dynamics, etc. I loved the game, but I lived with a persistent fear. I wondered how I could be gay and still play such a tough and masculine sport […] I want to speak to the athletes out there who are still in the closet or struggling to find their way. I want you to know that there is hope and you’re not alone. There is a life and a deep happiness waiting for you on your path. You will get through this, and it is going to be okay.”
