Colonial exploitation is no longer something that only happens abroad. Our limited understanding of empire allows us to be continually exploited by the ruling class.

Grateful for this @channel4news interview about the themes of my new book #TrackRecord - full thing @ 7pm BST.

Legal Twitter. How can I find a listing of what cases are being heard at The Old Bailey each week?

Baby Reindeer is out now on Netflix worldwide.
The response has been overwhelming, and I cannot express how much it meant for me to work with Richard, Jess, and our incredible cast + crew!

I am so thrilled that people are seeing what I saw in this story years ago. Pure heart 🖤

Baby Reindeer
is a reminder that
abuse is not linear
it is not black and white
it is not a perfect story
and victims don’t have to be
pure and perfect to be believed.
#BabyReindeer

Just watched baby reindeer in two sittings. Holy crap. So many layers. So many exceptionally brilliant scenes depicting how powerful the grip of shame can be in survivors of abuse and how complicated the human condition can be.

Non-Black folks raising black or mixed- black children, need to do their work the most. So much research shows taking a “colour-blind” approach to raising children has the opposite effect. Racism is a public health issue. You are NOT safeguarding your kids by ignoring racism.

This morning, seven U.S.rabbis and Israeli activists were arrested by Israeli police at the Gaza border as part of a delegation of thirty rabbis and other peace activists with Rabbis for Ceasefire who were attemping to bring food supplies into Gaza through the Erez crossing.

Stating that the use of the n word is simply a ‘faux pas’ is quite something from The Guardian . A cover story I’m sure we could have all done without…

The book that took 33 years to write: #TrackRecord is finally here. I’m lucky to have been a connecting point for so many different walks of life, and I used this book to place them all within their historic context. Hope ya like ❤️ tr.ee/jEcujLdYag

'Black music arriving after WW2 is a lie'

The first major exhibition documenting 500 years of Black music in Britain opens at the British Library and aims to challenge the timeline on when the Black presence in British music history began.

Ayshah Tull spoke to pioneers of Black…

The fact that no other LBC presenter has spoken up for Sangita Myska is pretty grim.

🚨Update on Sangita Myska & LBC 📻:

I’ve received a message from some who I’ll keep anonymous. They say after Sangita disappeared from the LBC schedule, producers were told “no one will notice” she’s gone, but if people are to ring in to say “she’s fine”.

If this is true it’s…

Again. STOP weaponising Black people to make poor points, especially if you’re doing nothing to address anti-blackness.
STOP with the false equivalences whilst simultaneously ignoring the fact Jews can be gay and Black.
STOP .
We are not props and this is anti-Black behaviour

And these are the clowns running our country. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so lethal.

Outrageous ignorance from the Policing Minister.

“I get accused of being colourist
I’m 1000% not colourist” Seales

This reminds me of white folks who maintain they aren’t racist - because they self declare it. We’ve been socialised to be racist & anti-black. Self declaration does not make you exempt. We have to do our work.

One of the worst things about human life is that every 18 months you have to call Sky and pretend that you're going to leave them until they find a magical offer which halves your bill which apparently didn't exist when you first rang
