A depressing interview by @Joanna_Abeyie, the ex-Head of Creative Diversity at the BBC. The senior exec describes feeling psychologically unsafe, powerless,& her role being performative. An interesting read & perspective. #BlackWomensVoicesMatter. https://t.co/kfx764UE2U

Sister Rosetta Tharpe is credited as the Godmother of Rock ‘N’ Roll. Before Elvis, Johnny Cash or Little Richard, there was Sister Tharpe- A Black woman who forged her own sound in a male dominated industry. She does not get the credit she deserves.

People now aware of the #PostOfficeScandal thanks to ITV's #MrBatesVsThePostOffice say a drama should be made about #Windrush. Errrrrr, Sitting In Limbo has been on BBC iPlayer for ages. Sad it still lacks the audience it deserves. #Justice4Windrush 👇🏾 https://t.co/1ATZi0EqGM

A shocking drama inspired by the Windrush scandal. After 50 years in the UK, Anthony Bryan is wrongfully detained by the Home Office and threatened with deportation.
Sitting In Limbo, the true story of how Anthony Bryan ended up a #Windrush victim despite living and working in Britain for 50 years, is still on BBC iPlayer. Pay tribute to Stephen S Thompson by watching it; the government can pay the Windrush victims.

I cannot even begin to imagine the pain she had to endure, deliberately inflicted on her. Yes, we honour Anarcha Westcott, whose name I've only just learnt.
Today we honor Anarcha Westcott. She was a 17 year enslaved girl who underwent roughly 30 operations without anesthesia for a vesicovaginal fistula (abnormal connection between vagina and bladder= urine coming through your vagina). She healed after this surgery. James Marion Sim
