Wow! Thank you @sophiehowe @futuregencymru- had 6 month break from Twitter - this is great to come back to! ✊🏾👏🏾😊 #empower #community
May I introduce @MichelleAlexi15
I met her when she joined the board of @WENWales many yrs ago.
She does so much to support her community and @SickleCellUK and has so much positivity that inspires me to think creatively.

Never underestimate the courage, strength, vulnerability and risk it takes to show up and speak up, as an ethnic minoritized person (and often the only one), in spaces, groups, training courses, meetings & professional platforms. I see your strength & courage! I'm proud of you!🧡
Brilliant, very uplifting night at Medway African & Caribbean Association YPU Awards in London. Great performances & inspirational young people receiving awards. 👏🏾 @MedwayAca #youngleaders #awards #future #inspiration #leaders #talent #futuregenerations #community #Awardwinning

Just a thought - how about the England team refuse to play to protest against the racism in football? Can you imagine how powerful that would be? 🤔 @SRTRC_England #showracismtheredcard #racism #football

Today marks 2 years since Christophers death. We are holding this twitter storm to raise awareness about the injustices that have been served. 2 years and we are still waiting for justice. It shouldn’t be like this, help us get #JusticeForChristopherKapessa
This was a fabulous discussion with strong, insightful women. Thank you for the platform @BYPCardiff @lynnatweets

Great article on why collecting data is no substitute for real action to increase diversity and combating racism. "It is magical thinking to argue that more information will necessarily lead to more diverse or more ethical businesses." qz.com/work/2027020/disclosu…

So much free labour from black + ethnically diverse people - has anything really changed?
▪️Race Report.
▪️Creation of Black history into ‘Welsh’ History.
◾️Any other examples?
