I am not your maid

So it has been over a year since I wrote Don't Trust a Black Girl and even longer since I wrote The Everyday Racist. Collectively, those have been my most read posts and I am constantly surprised that they are still getting so many views and shares so long after they were written.

I have loved seeing people posting all over my social media accounts celebrating all these inspirational women, sharing their own experiences and pushing for a more equal society.

Anyone in… Continue reading Talk less, smile more

Say NO to this…

So after what was the most amazing summer of my life, I am now back at University for my third year.

It's… Continue reading Say NO to this…
