I think we’re beyond the “raise awareness” stage of practically every major social issue.

When the illusion wears thin, they don’t course correct, they retreat, waiting for the next moment to resurface with the same empty promises.

Organisations love the illusion of inclusion, posting statements, commemorating days, and staging diversity campaigns, while doing nothing to dismantle the structures that keep people excluded in the first place.

There’s something to be said about the way Black people are continuously brought on to TV debates about racism but lack opportunities in the TV industry...

A big part of my life involves discussing public safety—attending panels, giving/viewing presentations. Yet, during every Q&A, it’s often the same privileged voices dominating the conversation, focusing on ‘street people,’ property, and ‘crime.’

6million women, children & men have been killed in Congo over the span of 25 years. 6 million. That’s 240,000 a year, 20,000 a month, 5000 a week, 714 a day. Half of these numbers have been children. All so that the west can make phones, tablets, electric cars, planes for cheap.
