Mega Rant This might end up being an unpopular post for some, but I don’t care as it is on an issue I care deeply and greatly about and to hell with it, I think it needs to be said. I have spent tens of thousands of hours researching those that fought for this

Great to be at this year’s @RAF_EMNetwork conference. Already some truly inspirational speakers, including Prince Albert Jacob-who joined the RAF in 1943! Panel Q. What would you do differently? A. Don’t try & be someone else, be yourself and be proud of your individuality! #BHM

In 1940, Jamaica began a Spitfire Fund to buy fighter planes for Britain during WW2 but we always hear that Britain stood alone. In light of Windrush 75, I hope this piece sheds light on a hidden history that we all deserve to know 👇🏾 https://t.co/NkCAZctB4d

People from the Caribbean made Britain what it is today but their contribution has been forgotten and many continue still face the same hostility they did decades ago
