I don’t know any black parent who doesn’t struggle to find books with characters that their child can relate to. So that’s why when I came across the book I am Truly. I snapped it up. I picked it purely on instinct. I looked at the cover and saw a little black girl and thought,ContinueContinue reading “The one where we talk about Princess Truly…because representation matters”

NO- I will never just ‘move on’ from Slavery.
Who the hell does David Cameron think he is? If I hear one more person say that black people should move on from slavery I’m going to loose my mind. Would he dare say to a Jewish audience that they should get over the holocaust? Which occurred for a shorter period of time than slavery?ContinueContinue reading “NO- I will never just ‘move on’ from Slavery.”

Diversity in the workplace matters
I’m so disappointed in Dove. I really am. I buy their products, I’ve been using #Dove for years. I loved the real women campaign. But this….this is unbelievable. Actually it isn’t. This is what happens when you don’t have a diverse marketing team and by diverse I mean black people. I’m sick of people usingContinueContinue reading “Diversity in the workplace matters”
There’s nothing wrong with being proud to be black
So apparently black pride is a threat the FBI feels the need to name and deal with. I know some people hate the term Woke. It’s overused. It’s also used in the wrong context and yes it’s become commercialized. I’m sure you’ve seen the t-shirts. But despite that I still like it. And for meContinueContinue reading “There’s nothing wrong with being proud to be black”
