Empty council buildings could create 20,000 affordable homes, MPs find #ukhousing dlvr.it/SrwrDg
Very proud of my cousin Mitch Momodu for his role in spearheading this vital project on black men and mental health in the barber shop in partnership with Islington Council and the NHS. theguardian.com/society/2022/n…

A plaque was unveiled today to honour Folajimi Olubunmi-Adewole #JimiTheHero. Jimi drowned while trying to rescue a woman in the River Thames April 22nd 2021. A True Hero 🤍

Walked past this hotel today, which operated a ‘colour bar’ in 1943 when Learie Constantine and his family were asked to leave. Constantine won his legal case against the hotel. Where is the plaque to mark this history? @Imperial_Hotels
Today, I gave the keynote speech at UK’s National Black Police Association Conference in Cheltenham with 350 copies of my book handed out. The CEO of the College of Policing even took me to one side! A slick event, the NBPA should be proud. Maybe there is hope? #nbpaconference 🌱
I just had my cervical smear and when the nurse saw I was a journalist (on notes) she asked me to write about cervical cancer. The numbers of people booking in for tests are plummeting again. Please, if you're reading this and you're overdue a smear - just go & get it done
I'm not sure what the agenda is with the vilification of #HarryandMeghan but it just makes people like me warm to them more. I have seen nothing from either of them that deserves the hatred they receive. More of us should speak out and say enough is enough. Kindness is priceless.
Today marks two months since I heard of the sudden death of @StMungos first Black chief executive, Steve Douglas. My shock and sadness will diminish, but his legacy at the homelessness charity will continue. His passion for diversity was infectious. RIP 🌼 insidehousing.co.uk/insight/insigh…
Forced Out by Kevin Maxwell, narrated by Ben Onwukwe @kevin_maxwell audible.co.uk/pd/Forced-Out-…
Off to @AyeWrite to interview the incredible @kevin_maxwell. With a strangely apt coffee #forcedout
As I work on my second book, it's always an honour to be invited to writing events like Aye Write Festival in Glasgow next month @AyeWrite. I've often thought about living in Scotland! And I just learnt my first book is to be turned into a stage play, to inform and educate 🏴

Remembering Joy Gardner who died after a deportation raid at her London home. Jamaican Joy, 40, was bound with 13ft of tape, her mouth was gagged and a restraint belt was used by officers on July 28, 1993. This happened in front of her 5-year-old son. Joy died four days later.

‘If you are Black you are more likely to be stopped, searched, handcuffed, tasered and use of force against you.’ Baroness Casey’s tell it like it is without fear or favour approach is just so refreshing.
Outrageous The most disrespected person is the Black woman. The most unprotected person is the Black woman. The most neglected person is the Black woman The Met Police is the boot of the state; they do not care about Black people and Black women in particular And still we rise
