The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.

Tulsa announces reparations for the 1921 ‘Black Wall Street’ massacre

I am with you on this one. Incensed is an understatement! Such brazen behaviours must stop! Those who do not understand racism must definitely NOT be leading this agenda, especially as it was never their idea in the first place! I will not keep silent! Enough stealing and repackaging!😡

When white women in leadership steal your idea and repackage it and give other white women to run with what you started! It’s ugly business and believe you me I’m not stepping back on this one

Apart from
#InternationalDayForTheEliminationOfDiscrimination today is also #SingleParentsDay!
Wishing all fellow single parents a happy day, and continued success.
It is the most challenging role I have had to date. Single parents often face discrimination too!
Thanks to everyone in my village!🙏🏽💜

Which one of the following books have you read?

This post reminded me about a day I spent in a bookshop in Oakland, during my #ChurchillFellowship to the USA.
It was February 2020, #BlackHistoryMonth in the States.
I spent several hours at Marcus Book store I didn't want to leave.
Happy #InternationalDayForTheEliminationOfDiscrimination!

It's great to be back on here.
Took an enforced break.
After returning from Australia, came down with the nasty virus that has been plaguing many.
Grateful to be vertical again.
It's been a busy week!
Today it was @nursingtimes.bsky.social
