Fought off 6 machete armed men to protect 37 sleeping orphans. 24-year-old Anthony Omari woke up to find a group of armed thieves in his bedroom at the Faraja Children's Home in Ngong, Kenya. It was the orphanage which he ran with mother Martha Bosire, that was housing 37 children at the time. It was the fourth break-in that month, so Omari was ready this time. He grabbed a hammer he kept under his bed and charged at the men, forcing them outside. But as he turned back to calm the crying children at the door, one of the attackers struck him in the face with a machete. Despite the horrific wound, Omari managed to lock the front door behind him before passing out. The injury required 11 stitches and left a long scar from his forehead down his cheek. He was discharged from the hospital after two days and returned to the orphanage, he didn't want to leave them for too long unsafe. Omari's story went viral when a student posted on it on reddit, asking for any help, and what happened next was incredible. Within days, more than 3,600 donors from all 50 U.S. states and 46 countries had contributed over $80,000. The funds paid for a new fence, security guards, beds the children had been sleeping on the floor and other essentials. Anthony Omari later earned a civil engineering degree, started his own construction company, and continues to visit the children at Faraja regularly.

Are we going to declare a national emergency/ state of terrorism against men murdering their ex partners/ domestic partners at an alarming rate at any point mate, or? @Keir_Starmer

I remember the day I woke up to Wasiu Ayinde playing outside my window in Croydon a few weeks after I relocated. I first thought the entire relocation was a dream. My eyes clear straight.

If you want to know a government’s priorities, look at its budget. To fight a national emergency where 1 in 3 women experience violence, Nigeria allocated just ₦365 per woman for gender based violence response.

The term "licensed critic" has stuck with me, this isn't art

They’re bombing Khartoum again.

IT WILL COST YOU $0 TO RETWEET THIS!😢

Everyone felt sad for the penguin walking alone and the monkey rejected by his mother. But this video is far more heartbreaking, yet it didn’t receive the same attention.

You know the name Anne Frank, even though she died 80 years ago. #HindRajab was murdered by #Israel in January 2024. Her name should be taught in schools across Britain, and all the countries who support Israel.

The lack of news on Gaza isn’t because the genocide is over. It’s because Israel slaughtered the journalists and Western media pretends there’s a ceasefire.

Someone in this same fit outside the Haggerston rn

every time I’ve seen her onscreen she has LEVELED me. my God what an incredible artist.

What Ms Dynamite did on they don’t know remix doesn’t get spoken about enough

This Is A Retweet: Find Her: Tamiya Buford Gailliard

She look no nonsense even at 35 lmao

Today, my Substack, Black British Radicals, became #80 in the Rising Culture Publications on the platform. I'm writing about such a small community, so the idea that I have enough traction to even do that is CRAZYYYY. Anyways, here's my latest piece on radicalblackbrits.substack.com:

The caricature we made of him looks closer to reality every day

african parents will speak perfect english & unfailingly go to church every sunday but have the opinion that queerness is western woke nonsense
