Black Lives Matter <3
5 years ago
Hello Folks, I hope you're all well.
I'm sorry to bring up something negative and scary, but I've been seeing lots of updates on the protests in the U.S. to confront the racism in the police and the system as a whole.
I just wanted to say to the P.O.C who're on this site, regardless of where you are location-wise, I hope you're alright, and have friends close by.
Yes, this is a somewhat empty pleasantry, as I can't physically or financially help (much), all I've really been doing atm, is reading and sharing information on Black history and Activism.
But just wanted to make my stance known; you deserve to be happy and safe xxxxxxx
p.s. Charles Preston Compiled this Google drive on black history and activism.

I'm currently reading: Black in the British Frame, it's an interview conducted with Stephen Bourne by Onyekachi Wambu, and they're discussing British film.
I confess; as soon as they mentioned growing up in London, I was hooked.
If - like me- you're currently sewing or doing something where you need to keep your hands and eyes moving, there's this Podcast/talk where Stephen talks about Aunt Esther, a Londoner of Colour (please correct me if this term is wrong) Born here before ww1.
