All facts!!!
Has BHM been ‘quiet’ this month or are you ignoring the hundreds of events organised by the Black community for the Black community.
There have never been this level of events before, I can’t keep up.
If by ‘quiet’ you mean not acknowledged by mainstream media or brands ask yourself what their validation does for us collectively?
When has their acknowledgement ever gone beyond novelty?

I am NOT a Descendant of the Windrush!
The SS EMPIRE Windrush is a 🇬🇧 coloniser ship.
My Elders & Ancestors are not define by this 🇬🇧 Coloniser ship.
I am a Descendant of Afrikans enslaved in the Caribbean; & brought to 🇬🇧 under colonial domination.
Prof. Gus John breaks down how the manufactured Windrush identity and Popular narrative are tools of the 🇬🇧 State design to subdue Afrikan-Caribbean people & ensure we are enticed in to allegiance & celebration of 🇬🇧; rather than resistance to 🇬🇧 and it's continued (neo)colonial exploits.
May we heed... Ase 🙏🏿🖤

This full video is BRILLIANT about the myth-making of the Windrush and how the history of the time is completely reconstructed to serve the nation and ignore the ways in which African Caribbean people were treated both in the Caribbean and then in the UK.

Actor and visual artist Heather Agyepong stars in Chairman, the debut feature from British filmmaker Edem Kelman.
Backed by Film4 and the BFI, the drama has wrapped filming across London and Paris, with Ṣọpé Dìrísù and Samuel Adewunmi also starring.
The film follows Duke (Dìrísù), a man with an ambitious plan to unite London's African diasporic communities. A release date has not yet been announced
I’m finally catching up on #thegentlemen and it’s just as good as the 1st season.
But I can’t help but wonder how good #topboy would’ve been if it was similar. I need a high class black British gangster tv show or film!

First published in 1998 and updated in 2001, Stephen Bourne's 'Black in the British Frame' was one of the first mainstream books to document the historical experiences, representations, and contributions of people of African and Caribbean descent in British cinema and television.
'Black in the British Frame' has been one of the foundations of British screen scholarship since its publication, but it is now almost impossible to find new or old copies.
Bourne tells Deadline in a lengthy interview that the book is out of print. Bloomsbury Publishing, which assumed control of the book after merging with Bourne’s previous publisher, returned the rights to the author.

Summer Walker is NOT in a 360 deal.
A 360 deal allows a label to collect a % of an artist’s revenue outside of recorded music, such as touring, merch, & brand deals.
Summer’s contract is a traditional recording agreement with a low royalty rate.

Such a travesty that a lot of people didn’t appreciate Marianne’s incredible performance. I remember seeing some really bad faith takes, and it reminded me, women of colour don’t get the same opportunity to play complex and insufferable characters in the way white women do.

The British Accent here is great, also British accents come in so many fonts! Most Americans are really unaware of the key regional and class/ racial differences it has. This is spot on Ayo 🤗
