I’m working with @StepChange again to film a video answering any questions you have on managing/dealing with debt. I’ll be working with the team to give you answers from the professionals, ask any questions you have reply here or answer on my IG stories! instagram.com/stories/tanyac…
I did a video about my own experiences with debt last year and a lot of my followers referred themselves to their services last year! So I’m really happy to be doing more work with them to raise awareness about their services because there is so much fear & shame around debt
I wish I knew about their services when I was deep in debt. I remember calling my bank to ask them to return their overdraft charges because I couldn’t afford food LOL. These man tried to persuade me to take out a HUGE loan with them and I was so desperate I almost said yes
Me crying on the bus begging the financial advisor to give me back my overdraft charges and the advisor thinking, wow yes perfect person to offer a huge fucking loan too. 🙃 so dangerous and so careless. I only didn’t go through with it because the bus was too loud

Pride in London have been quiet for DAYS. Where are y’all hiding?
I want to emphasise as well that the issues highlighted with Pride in London are not isolated. They’re reflective of the way some of your fave white led LGBTQ+ orgs treat Black and POC staff too xoxox
Hiring Black and POC employees and volunteers is one thing, retaining them is another. Mwah 💋
I’m calling upon community and allies to donate to the ‘Exist Loudly Fund’ I am fundraising £10,000 to support Queer Black Young people here in the UK, both online and in person.
Queer Black Young people deserve a space in which they can explore their identity as being both Black and Queer. Through the Exist Loudly Fund, I will create opportunites both online and offline to do just this gf.me/u/x6k4fn
This is my issue with volunteer tourism and poverty porn. You do this work because YOU want to make it look like YOU are a good person and the work, whilst it may help people, is centred around you, your ego and your white saviour complex
I volunteered in Peru when I was 18 in a rural orphanage for a year,we frequently had groups of YT people come over to “help” when In fact the work that they did caused more harm then good.Unskilled people would come to ‘build’ structures but would do it wrong
This would then mean the orphanage would have to fork out their own funds to hire someone from the village to fix the work. They would allow the unskilled ‘volunteers’ to continue the work so to not hurt their ego
