Hi everyone,
@LozzaFox
has sued me. I did not get the letter as it was sent to the wrong address. I will be defending it &
@mlewislawyer
has agreed to act on “no win no fee”. If I need to crowdfund for any disbursements, I’ll let you know. But it's on.
I stand with Shumirun Nessa- She is brave woman to stand up for the rights of children and support us parents. This man is very worrying & I honestly think
#jefferymarsh
is danger to children.
A TikToker has reported her car was vandalized after she uploaded a video criticizing non-binary activist Jeffrey Marsh.
Shumirun Nessa was called a token for "white supremacists" after telling Marsh not to have private communications with children.
Reason we suffered
#FGM
is because of being a girl child, there should never be anyone who denies that. Those who are sitting on the fence on issues that affect girls & women are doing more harm than good.
Western Feminism has been known to do that, we speak for ourselves!
I was born in Somalia, that part became republic of Somaliland after seeking independent in 1990,
UK became my home at a very young age, this picture shows my two countries, I am proud British and still have immediate family in Somaliland. Happy independence day

When I was 8 years old there were curfews children were not allowed to play outside after 3pm, weddings were celebrated early in the day, Boys were shot and girls abducted. Thank you UK for being my safety as soon as I arrived. I was a refugee child.
Whilst I advise & understand we must slow the spread of the virus, I can't help but feel the message from the government to be finger pointing to

Labour playing the victim. The real victims are the those who are suffering in Gaza. Asking to stand up for ceasefire as politicians is hardly a shameful behaviour. We knew who didn't vote already! its accessible to the public.
A discussion with a young secondary school, a Black pupil (boy) today made my heart sank, it also made me concerned. His teacher said to him " are you dumb or stupid?"
When he replied: "Neither Sir" he put him in isolation for talking back!
Seriously?!

First they called us
Ethnic Minorities then they changed their mind and we became Minority Ethnic! They said Nah let's call them BME changed that to BAME but later added R and made it to BAMER.
Words changed but systemic racism has not changed. I am a Black Woman.

The problem with the party & its members there is no dialogue.
Being suspended that long & no way of resolving any issues is cowardly. You are prominent ex councillor whose campaign for the environment brought Sheffield GP many elected members including me & those sitting Cllrs.
