Said the head to the heart
'We have more in common
Than sets us apart'.

Do not speak of that which you do not know
Do not walk on stage for that key note speech
You're no expert in light because you glow
You are no climber because of your reach

Do not speak of that which you do not know
Do not walk on stage for a key note speech
If you are the light then speak of the glow
But you're no climber because of your reach

Thank you so much lemn sissay OBE FRSL! The book comes out 2nd May - if, like lemn sissay OBE FRSL you care about people, please follow Human Rights: Case For The Defence to share, connect and for hope #CaseForTheDefence

I would follow this woman to the end of the earth. If you are a human you need to read Shami Chakrabati's 'Human Rights The Case for the Defence'. If you are not then don't. We need this book now more than ever.
