They carried out a malicious attack against my people, who are protesting for the right to exist safely, without worry or fear. But a fear their own government is envoking consistently, the people who have a duty to keep them safe. Asking for something as simple as safety has been met with brutality. You cannot deny the right to protest. The right to be heard. The right to live. Please guys if you see #EndSars spread the word, share it, talk about it! This cannot be swept under the carpet, try as this government might. Black lives matter is not a temporary topic, these events still go on around the world and our existence is NOT up for debate. Black people have been fighting this fight everyday, and we need change. We must speak up for those in Nigeria whose voice is being muted, this list is getting longer 💔🇳🇬. Stay informed, stay loud #endsarsimmediately #endsarsbrutality

T/W abuse and racism

"What does it mean to be a womxn of colour?" Megan perfectly captures exactly how it feels, we are beautiful, amazing, intelligent, courageous and badass but we're also so so unprotected. We carry the world on our shoulders way before we've even take our first steps, as the world puts its barriers, rules and regulations on us. Be this way but not too much, too little and you're not enough. Privileges and existences denied, but society doesn't get to silence us or write us up, try as they might. We hold the pen, the paper and the ink, allowing ourselves to write our own futures. We shouldn't always have to fight, treasure your rest as we have been awake and woke way before it trended. There is a magnificent power in rest and the fight, both are important. Fierce and proud we will always be, in our own ways, on our own paths guiding each other, drowning out the noise so that we may finally be heard❤✊🏾 #ProtectBlackWomen

#MyBlackHairMemoirs began exactly a year ago today

#MyBlackHairMemoirs began exactly a year ago today and it's been a wild ride, in the best way❤❤ meeting so many amazing people along the way and having friends be a part of this means so much, thank you everyone 🥰. I remember having a convo with one of my best mates as we were walking home from school, I wasn't sure what career I wanted to go into, it felt like every career had a neat little box but I loved doing a lot of things in the creative and charity sector and she replied with "you might have to create your own job."

I didn't think it was possible but who gets to decide what jobs do and don't exist? There isn't some random person sitting in a library with a giant book saying "jobs that exist" and they'll wack you over the head with it if you create your own job. Which is why it's so important to write your own rules. Art is a major source of therapy, it gives you the reigns to be yourself and put yourself into whatever you make. It doesn't have to be perfect, as long as there's a piece of you in it it's already magnificent ❤

The thing I love most about my generation is how we use everything around us to create change, our own safe spaces and cultures, inspired by the generations that pushed us forward so that we may shine brightly and inspire those after us. We are here and we aren't going anywhere Thank you so much @ukbftog #WeAreHere

I remember meeting the authors in Waterstones Birm

I remember meeting the authors in Waterstones Birmingham a couple years ago and hearing their stories and thoughts behind the book was so thought provoking and beautiful. Slay in Your Lane is the kind of book you can read time and time again, it's there to educate and inspire Black womxn and I love it. I couldn't wait for their latest release of 'Loud Black Girls' whereby 20 Black British womxn were included for even more narratives and experiences to be explored. I really recommend these two books to everyoneeeee, they're the books you NEED to read✊🏾📚

A super massive thank you to everyone who has supp

A super massive thank you to everyone who has supported #LewkGoodDoGood purchasing something from my store or donated!!! @sistahspace_ is a Hackney based unit for Afro-Caribbean women who are surviors of domestic violence. Looking after our community is extremely vital and Sistah Space are doing an amazing and necessary job. They still need support through sharing their story and also through donations on their website, they need a safe space and Hackney council is not doing enough to support them so please check them out and help out in anyway possible ❤❤

Our next charity will be BLAM (Black learning achievement and mental health @Blamcharity ) they are primarily focused on educating British school children about Black history and also providing Black children with safe spaces to discuss their feelings and mental health. Based in Brixton and supported by Diane Abbott, the money raised will help Black parents and their children access vital information for free. They give the children "A chance to explore their interests and passions with consistent support from their local community. We are primarily based in Brixton, South London, but we also work with boroughs all across London."
Black kids are the future✊🏾❤
