Happy Sunday everyone! We hope you’ve had a lovely start to the new year and term🤍 🤍
Even though sadly we aren’t physically in school right now you can still take steps to become a Halo School before in-person learning starts. #ADOPTTHECODE #HALOHAIR please retweet& share!
Leading by example! And this is why we need all schools & workplaces to adopt the code to stop this discrimination from happening
Hair up or hair down?
People ask why I have #dreadlocks. Because Black children & adults are still discriminated for their natural hair in employment & schools.
Hopefully they can use me as an example to say “if Antoine can report the news with his hair in locks, why can’t i?”

📣 Real beauty should be welcome in all institutions. We stand against race-based discrimination and we’re proud to see young people standing up to discriminatory dress codes. Let’s continue to #TakeAction through the @TheHaloCode and end #HairDiscrimination 💪
We stand in complete solidarity with the protesting students, and urge schools to sign onto the Halo Code to prevent black students ever feeling like their appearance is a burden in their own school #ADOPTTHECODE #THEHALOCODE

School student heroes at Pimlico Academy walk out after their headteacher bans afros and colourful hijabs. They call it racism.
Ten minutes down the road on the very same day, Etonians in parliament announce there is no institutional racism in Britain. Whose side are you on?

Where is the accountability?
Schools can impose any hair rules on pupils, even racist ones! @educationgovuk ... make 'appearance' policies statutory so you can protect pupils.
Schools... look at @TheHaloCode and sign up.
Schools... celebrate #BigHairAssembly with @worldafroday
Guardian on Pimlico Academy. A parent told me last week that this trust was felt to be "untouchable" because of its political connections. theguardian.com/education/20…

We are excited @Alleyns_School to have signed up to @TheHaloCode, the UK's first Black hair code, and to champion the right of our staff and pupils to embrace all Afro hairstyles. More: ow.ly/yVbD50E1a5M. @thehalocltv

This is absolutely unacceptable, and I hope your sister isn’t feeling too upset😔 Black children across the UK are still being punished for their natural hair. We should encourage every school to accept @TheHaloCode and work towards de-stigmatisation of black hairstyles!!

POLLUTION ZONE
Did you know the air in #Catford is dangerously polluted?
@ChokedUp_UK put up signs to make sure that passers by think twice about the air they’re breathing.
We’re making the invisible visible.

Here's the second half of my piece on #afro hair discrimination. Corporations like @ProcterGamble have adopted @TheHaloCode to help fight the issue, but for many there is still a way to go until progress is felt.

Around 3hrs and 20mins in you can hear me and a wonderful Y9 student from @BristolBrunel talking about adopting @TheHaloCode at our school 👸🏽👸🏽
My heart burst at the point she said the school is a safe space for young people in our community 🥰
