    This Black African lesbian warrior woman mother is in the September issue of @britishvogue alongside incredible changemakers. The little dark-skinned Black girl in me is really emotional jumping for joy. I can't remember seeing women like me in magazines like Vogue @misanharriman

    NEWS: I’m officially a Doctor. To receive this recognition,surrounded by my family and friends, means more than words can describe. To receive this recognition in front of my mother and my daughter is honestly too difficult for me to quantify. I’ve cried so many tears of joy!

    💔 Feeling shattered and devastated about Ghana's parliament passing the anti-LGBTQ bill. This decision will have a significant impact on the LGBTQ+ community in Ghana. It will undoubtedly lead to increased discrimination, violence, and marginalisation of LGBTQ+ individuals,

    Black LGBTQIA+ people led the fight for equality. As Pride can’t go ahead this year, it’s more important than ever to donate to @ukblackpride ukblackpride.org.uk/ukbp-donate #artistsforblacklives

    The moment when @whoopigoldberg mentions @ukblackpride calls me on stage at the #WorldPride opening ceremony to acknowledge me as one of the Grand Marshall 2019, she gives the best hugs and the love was flowing. All I’m going to say is this made my whole life @NYCPride ✊🏾🏳️‍🌈♥️

    Thank you to @TheVoiceNews for this incredible interview and acknowledgement. It's not often we see Queer Black women and LGBTQ Human Rights on front covers of our newspapers. I am humbled, I really am and I’m also excited to start work at @Kaleidoscope_T charity soon.
