📢📢Stop asking Black people for free labour, especially during Black history month. No, I will not help make your white-led org better for free. This is what we call consulting (its not just for yt people). You're welcome to check out our website - we have a brilliant team.

The hijab ban in France seems like a clash of cultures or a clash between secularism and religion but it’s just veiled racism. Pun intended.
How can you tell?
The ban doesn’t apply to nuns because according to French officials, a habit is a symbol of devotion not submission.

It was never about conservation, it’s about power. They don’t want Indigneous people to exercise our rights because they know they won’t be able to control it.
The idea of equality feels like discrimination when you’re used to privilege.
