Ran the @LondonMarathon yesterday (my first), having raised money for the @mssocietyuk. Such an incredible experience - I can’t wait to do it all again

Also thank you to the Instagram outage for reminding me that there are other social media platforms I can use to bore people with my running talk 🙃

This brutality in response to a peaceful vigil is so completely shocking. It didn’t have to be this way. @pritipatel needs to answer for it in Parliament on Monday #ReclaimTheseStreets #ReclaimTheNight #EnoughIsEnough

Ran my second half marathon of the year yesterday. of ever in fact. Thought I hated running before lockdown, now couldn't be without it. Feeling grateful for that one aspect of the pandemic

Hey @PritiPatel we think the real crisis is our lack of humanity for people fleeing war, climate change and torture. We pulled together a thread for you..

White people please watch. This is trauma that Indigenous, Black & other People of Colour face from our experiences w police. I still fear police from when they burst into my home, pushed me to ground, threatened me. My "crime": entering my own home at night w my child in my arms

Terrell Paci, a 23 year old black firefighter was RACIALLY PROFILED and held at GUNPOINT by PROVIDENCE POLICE. He was on duty, in full uniform, infront of his work place. FUCK THE POLICE! BLACK LIVES MATTER!

Stop saying British racism is invisible. Did you not see Grenfell burn? Don't you know victims still haven't been rehoused? Did you not see families crying on TV about Windrush deportations? Have you not seen the reports about institutional racism in policing, in stop and search?

What’s the need for a UK #BlackLivesMatter movement? There isn’t any racism, institutional bias or oppression in the UK? Just bandwagonning? An excuse to make noise and go outdoors? A thread. #BlackLivesMatterUK

Does anyone know of any engineering and/or product managers who are willing to mentor black and brown folks? Feel free to comment! There is plenty of black and brown talent looking for mentors in technical roles too. It's the perfect time to help out! 👇
