    In our blog for @RunnymedeTrust we explain why banning the use of Black British English (BBE) in UK schools reinforces negative perceptions and stereotypes which are harmful to Black students. Support our campaign to end linguistic injustice in schools✊🏿
    Is it that deep? The impact of policing Black British language speakers in British schools

    Glasses frames are usually designed with white people’s nose features in mind - a high narrow bridge. Belgium based designer Ackeem Ngwenya and business partner, Shariff Vreugd, started Reframd. Their design technology creates frames for lower nose bridges and wider nostrils.

    Today marks the first anniversary of the tragic and wrongful killing of Chris Kaba at the hands of the police. To this date we are still awaiting justice and an honest account of what happened that fateful day.
