It was great to see @Stormzy back in Cambridge last week! 🤩 The musician was at Jesus College to meet the students he, and HSBC UK, support through the Stormzy Scholarships. He also met with Vice-Chancellor Prof Deborah Prentice and the College’s Master, Sonita Alleyne.

I watched this live and Sunny Hostin was talking about society in general. Ask yourself, does what Sunny said actually match this dumbass headline.

WORRIED ABOUT MASCULINITY? Some men are hyperventilating over masculinity. Consider this man, he fought violence with no weapon but love. He wasn’t beholden to billionaires, but was killed bravely serving poor people holding signs declaring ā€œI Am A Man.ā€ Be that kind of man.
