Many follow me here after my features in @ElleUK, @MetroUK & the #antiracismchallenge I posted. So Iere is a thread of other pieces by my Black and Brown colleagues that provide insight into their experiences. Essential reading for both the public and fellow practitioners...
As a profession we can be opaque. I've had students tell me that they don't see members of the Bar that look like them; the public don't know what we do; & colleagues operate w/o insight into the experience of Black and brown members of the Bar. So, some reading material:
@CounselMagazine is an underused resource. The articles are available to be read by the public and are often insightful and brilliantly written: e.g. @_lesliethomas here discussing why racial diversity at the Bar matters.

The #disparitiesreport came out today. I will do a thread on Weds underneath here.
Its content is important. Those of you who have followed me recently, I suspect due to my #antiracismchallenge, I encourage you to engage with reading and absorbing this report 1️⃣

It'll give u a better understanding of y the juxtaposition of: #lockdown; #GeorgeFloyd's murder; #AmyCooper's disregard for #ChristianCooper's life; the Met's decision to NFA in the case of #BellyMujinga; the tasering of #DesmondZiggyMombeyarara; and many other factors 2️⃣
have left so many Black folk in a state of paralysis. Taking time to read material like this is part of being an ally: gives insight into the lived reality of others; helps you 2b informed enough 2 hold the gov & powers that be accountable. #ShowUp #MakeItYourProblemToo 3️⃣
Non-black friends. This is an #antriracismchallenge I've created for you. I shared this on my IG page. It's time for you to work on yourselves and to show up. Especially those that work in the legal system. #YourSilenceIsOppression #YourIgnoranceIsHarmful #YouArentAboveRacism
To clarify step 1 - I really did mean this for people who are FRIENDS. Not people that barely know or speak to one another. There is a risk of putting people on the spot and pressuring them #antiracismchallenge
