1-6. Many times in the Education sector (18 years & a bit) I was told during interviews "we only gave you an interview because we were told we've got to tick a box that we interviewed a coloured person". I will never forgot those horrible words!.

2. I was told "your over experienced for the role you've applied for, especially for someone of your kind!". I always knew what the reason was, they didnt want someone like me, it was obvious looking at the working enviroment. #southasian #asian #proud
3. I never knew being brown skinned, having a culture and religion was a crime, till I joined a profession that almost finished me off!. But I aint going nowhere! I'll keep standing my ground and building that equality and fairness for others in my position in the profession....
4. ...and public. #Police.
Even though it is very draining at times. But there are always good people out there who care to help and want true change, not just for their own agenda and likes! Stay humble and blessed people.

5. Only once when I was in my early 20s, I did not tick the boxes, of what my ethnicity or religion was on applications, but my name usually gave it away. That showed me alot I needed to know, it was a test to check how the system also works. #onelife #Employment
6. I always applied or worked in areas, where there was no BAME, so that maybe I could teach and educate others there but nope, learning and willingness to learn has to come from within, it can not be forced. Never be moulded to fit fools! #willingtolearn #unique #proud #humble💪🏾
