Sorry for the wait folks, but please enjoy! 💜

Last in-person class on Friday. 🥲 really grateful for these last months, learned a lot and have enjoyed the journey, including the tough bits. Incredibly touched by the flowers and thoughtfulness of the students. Such a fab bunch 🥹 School of History, Queen Mary University of London

'The challenges, the excitement, and trying to support your co-workers. I think in doing that you become part of a team. You were no more 'that little Black nurse'.' ~ Cecilia Anim, on her time working in the British Health Service.

1976-1981 Britain's Asian community stood tall against Far-Right violence & a rising tide of racist murders. #Defiance lifts the lid on Southall protests, the killing of Blair Peach, the Battle for Brick Lane, & how ‘self-defence is no offence’ became Bradford's rallying call.

'This was a project to support young Black students going into the study of history. It was a space created for us. Through this space, we were able to do things we would not have ordinarily imagined for ourselves.'
~ Enna Uwaifo

In the Black Liberation Front (BLF), women like Joan, Jackie and Desrie were on the frontlines of grassroots organising. To hear more about them, in their own words, check out our documentary: youtube.com/watch?v=pEf1VM…

Still trying to make sense of this.

As Women's History Month draws to a close, at YHP we celebrate the trailblazing activism of Black women who have been central to so much of our history in Britain 🧵✊🏿

Many thanks to Johny Pitts, Hayward Gallery Herbert Art Gallery & Museum! This exhibition renders working class photographic practices in generative and nuanced manners, check it out! Making a contribution to this group exhibition has been mad inspiring, as I continue to develop my practices.

unpopular take but 800k for <niche humanities project> looks bizarre because it *is* bizarre, and comes from treating hums like STEM, i.e. concentrating funds on a small % of research 'teams' to address narrow questions over multiple years, while most hums research gets /nothing/

A friend moved to Britain in April 1962 from British Guiana on a CUKC passport. In May 1962 he was handed this newsletter, the psychological impact of which was long lasting. He stayed in the UK but couldn’t bring himself to register as British post BG’s independence.

This is a very disheartening experience.

UK’s immigration policy is something else.

His son wanted to be a doctor, but was killed on his London council estate. So Richard Taylor set up the Damilola Taylor Trust, which provided financial support + access to medicine for POC/working class students from London. A tireless advocate of social justice and reform. RIP

📍Looking forward to talking about my PhD research at CRoLAC research seminar next Tuesday at 12pm at QMUL.

I will specifically thinking through my methodology and sharing some of the initial findings of the oral histories I have done so far.

Over half of Black children, and 47% of Asian children are living in poverty.

Utterly shocking in 2024 Britain, and inexcusable. This is a political choice.

So, due to the #KateGate / #WhereIsKate missing Kate Middleton / Princess of Wales #Katespiracy drama, lots of people around the world have increased interest in Rose Hanbury and her mysterious connection to Prince William.

Unfortunately, people in China looked a little too…

Many thanks to University of York History Department for inviting me back to deliver a public history masterclass! We discussed methods to develop an ethical oral history practice: a journey I began while studying at York. It was a joy to share what I’ve learned since with current students 🫶🏽
