For me, the concept of being understood has always felt somewhat intangible.
As a young child, I suffered from a terrible stutter.
Only the people who loved me bothered to hear me.
The ability to write well – I thought – would free me from a future of larger misunderstanding.

I studied words. I read books. I journaled. I got published. I drew. I found pen pals. I built websites on the world wide web and dug for information.
I learned to write and I learned to communicate, but rarely still was I understood.

#thread #BlackPower #BlackRevolution #BlackYouth History was made today in Ldn: Militant independent black working class youth-led history, in the face of an formidable array of forces railed against them from the govt, to the fascist,from left /#BLMUK to wellknown celebrities.
This is an account from the direct experiences of MXM members today, and also our close unified approach with @LondonBlackRevs and several other radical black formations. 
The background today is nearly 10yrs of a general absence of radical grassroots resistance, the last time was Aug2011 when we rose up for 3 days after the police murder of #MarkDuggan #BroadwaterFarm crew.

History has taught me to be a better friend & educator. I don’t believe in letting go of the past, as the past has shaped who we are & how we live. While we may believe we have all the choices in the world, we are restricted by systems & attitudes that we dont think about enough.
I have too much to say about the continual & clear existence of anti-Black racism so I’ll just point out that it was phenom learning w/ @eji_org & I’m excited to use this incredible calendar I picked up at @splcenter. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory365 #BlackHistoryMonth2020
Watching @JustMercyFilm, followed by a sharing of @DesmondCole’s book, “The Skin We’re In”, was such a treat w/ @MmeAsante & Coly who went to #Alabama w/ me to deepen our understanding of our roles as anti-oppressive educators. #theskinwerein #blackliberation #BlackLivesMatter
