I have spent the last week RTing rather than tweeting myself. Mostly because the last couple of weeks and months have been hard. COVID-19 and the current events in the US have been a lot and I needed time. But let me tell you I am tired, angry and fed up! #BlackLivesMatter (1/8)
I am tired, angry and fed up of watching another Black person lose their life to police violence. #GeorgeFloyd #BreonnaTaylor #AhmaudAubrey (2/8)
I am tired, angry and fed up of people pretending that this is an American issue. Let's not pretend that the UK is innocent. Structural racism is a global problem. I am already worried about my two nephews and they are both under 5. #BlackLivesMatter (3/8)
I am tired, angry and fed up of Black people being more likely to die from COVID-19. #healthinequalities are not new! Black mothers are 5 times more likely to die during childbirth than White mothers. We need fundamental change. (4/8)
I am tired, angry and fed up with individuals that I respect scientifically being quiet. Science is political and to pretend it is not is simply a lie. (5/8)
I am tired, angry and fed up of watching institutions and companies post a single tweet of solidarity and acting like their work is done. Is your house in order? Apart from this singular tweet what else are you doing? (6/8)
I am tired, angry and fed up of having to be exceptional to achieve the minimum. Why do I have to be #blackexcellence when so many get away with #mediocre. (7/8)
I am tired, angry and fed up of answering questions on what can be done to tackle racism in our institutions. We have been talking for far too long. There are literally 100s of resources. Please do your research and act accordingly! (8/8)
