Education is where it starts, teaching our future to celebrate difference instead of dragging it down. We need to stop feeding our children stereotypes of the black person and acknowledge the history, the oppression, the struggle but most of all the POWER. #BlackHistoryMonth

For me over the years I have learnt that my blackness is my superpower. I’m mixed race and acknowledge my privilege as a half white person but black is the only way I’ve ever been treated, I am Black British and proud and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

I want my children to feel a little more comfortable in their blackness than I did as a child, I want them to feel accepted, celebrated and seen. I don’t want them being followed round the topshop equivalent in 20 years by a security guard just because of their melanated skin...

SAY IT LOUD, IM BLACK AND IM PROUD #BlackHistoryMonth
