Diverse voices are vital, #diversity in #leadership is key to #decolonisation, and #marginalised communities and underrepresented groups should be adequately supported with engagement. With this of course, #education over the #lifespan - is also key - and forms the foundation of #engagement.

One of my motivators for launching Rozena Freelancer was wanting to continue working with others to support engagement of marginalised communities + underrepresented groups in democracy, campaigns and governance - using my ten years of professional experience and lived experiences.

Over the past year, I’ve been talking about the worrying increases in #fascism, #islamophobia, #antisemitism, #racism and discrimination - both in the UK + globally. Unfortunately but unsurprisingly, as stats and recent + ongoing events have shown, the hate is just getting worse day by day 😢

Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk.bsky.social · May 22

We welcome reports of a £750m down payment to tackle child poverty. This is a promising 1st step & if invested in child benefit, housing & education, it could start to ease the pressure on families.

But it doesn’t match the scale of the challenge or the 'radical reform' No.10 wants to deliver.

When leaders defy court rulings, it’s not democracy — it’s creeping dictatorship. This sets a dangerous precedent, especially for Black immigrants already facing deep injustices.
