There have been allegations against P Diddy for many years but he has been living a lavish, public life and for many fans, he can do no wrong. The music industry needs a reckoning. Men in positions of power and influence have to be held accountable on and off stage.

Our @herahussain spoke to @PetrieHosken @TalkTV about how low conviction rates for sexual assault & the harrowing experiences of reporting cases to the police/courts can create an atmosphere of impunity for men who know the chances of them getting away are so high.

This is an in-person event. Stolen nudes. Deepfaked porn/Image-based abuse. Stalking. Death and rape threats. Sextortion. Doxxing. These are just some ways…

Our @herahussain spoke to Sky News about how women have the right to safe travel like anyone else. We should also encourage bystanders to step in to support survivors from offering their seats to confronting the person doing the harassment & getting help.

Tommy Robinson deleted this Tweet, as it accidentally had his lawyer telling him in the bottom right corner that he will no longer represent him. You know what to do.

Seeing young children out in the streets chanting racist slurs and participating in public destruction of property is heartbreaking. We need to build politics on hope.

The fact that all of this was supposedly sparked by the death of three little girls who just wanted to dance has been lost by angry men who apparently were so outraged by it that they started attacking groups who had nothing to do with it.

The lack of empathy to attack people who have fled war, torture and persecution to come to the UK has been engineered by years of xenophobic and racist messaging around migration.

What a week it's been! For the first time in a long time, we didn't think it was safe to go to Manchester city centre and stayed in our local area. The islamophobia and xenophobia reached new lows as far-right groups targeted actual asylum seekers.

Our @herahussain was interviewed for this piece that found 75% of girls face online harassment, hate & abuse. Their survey of more than 600 girls in Asia, Africa & South America also found more than 1 in 10 – some as young as 13 – face digital harm daily. https://t.co/4XZn33UZND

This is my case for why you should be actively curating cross-cultural learning lists to decolonise mindsets & expand what we know, approaching things with curiosity vs shame. I always tell my staff that if we don't know something, let's treat it as an opp to educate ourselves!

Many do yearly training sessions and others do reading clubs. In this blog, I share an idea I came up with a few years ago which is a staff favourite: cross-cultural learning lists (some examples at the end of the blog).
