I’m so embarrassed by what happened this morning. I was cutting through Wardown park to get to the Lutonian Cricket Club. I didn’t realise that there’s a 5k run going ahead, the volunteers started to clap, why did I feel the pressure and start running as if I’m competing 😭

My name is published! I loved working on the ‘Race and Equality in Football Workforce’ research.
This research was undertaken in response to the underrepresentation of diverse ethnic volunteers within University football, and participants in BUCS football leadership programmes.
📚 RESEARCH LIVE: Race and Equality in Football Workforce, in collaboration with
@leedsbeckett
We are excited to release this research into understanding how to enhance diversity, equity and inclusion across university football.

Growing up, we also went through a similar experience. We were told that the "skinheads" were in Bury Park as there was an EDL march. Leaflets via our letterbox told us to lock our doors and windows.
We pleaded with our dad (a taxi driver) not to go to work out of terror.
When I was 12-years-old, I was told to stay indoors by my teachers because the EDL were in town.
In the last few years, my mum and my sisters have been the victims of Islamophobic hate crime.
While many in the media demonise the Muslim community, we live with the consequences.

I work at a private airport in England and wallahi when I say the power the clients have, due to them having money is scary. So many things happen but the company keep it under the radar.
May Allah reward you and your family. I pray she makes it back safely ❤️

Wallahi in the entire time I have worked in DEI, I have never been this broken. It's astonishing that we have to repeatedly persuade people to do the right thing.

It’s okay to be “political” when:
• Qatar wants to host the World Cup
• Ukraine is invaded
So when is being “political” a problem?
• To support the BLM movement
• To talk about the plight of Uyghur Muslims
• It has been and always is too political to talk about Palestine

200+ page list of the dead, a press conference surrounded by dead bodies, children's limbs in plastic bags and the UK, our MPs & Luton councillors looked the other way.
What else has to be done in order for our ‘leaders’ to demand a ceasefire and no longer look the other way?

The 118yr old stadium is the "last of its kind in English football" and located in the heart of a cluster of some of Luton’s oldest roads. It’s not as prestigious as other stadiums but it embodies what Luton is all about- heritage, resilience & community. See you at Wembley 🎩🧡
