1/2 It was wonderful to address hundreds of young people from around the world at the Youth Hub at the United Nations Civil Society Conference about Stephen Lawrence Day. United Nations @UNDGC_CSO #SLDay #UNCSC2019


2/2 My call to them was to make Stephen Lawrence Day an international event. It is extremely inspiring to hear their ideas and opinions. Speaking to them fills me with such hope for the future. United Nations @UNDGC_CSO #SLDay #UNCSC2019


I've met London Fire Brigade & London FBU. I am reassured race played no part in their response to the Grenfell Tower fire. Learning about the conditions firefighters faced that night has been insightful, apologies for any upset caused. I'm confident how valued equality is to LFB & FBU

"Black history is British history and this book not only tells the story of another Black person, but also highlights the success of an individual who came to Britain in the 1960s and lived a successful life." I review Baroness Floella Benjamin's book politicshome.com/thehouse/artic…

Fascinating talk from Doreen Lawrence OBE and @DMUVC sharing her story of meeting former South African President Nelson Mandela. #Loveinternational #24hourvigil
