ALRA graduates have called for a complete overhaul of the drama school’s leadership, which is accused of failing to address systemic racism within the institution
I would just like to make it clear that I’m not scared to speak out on this matter at first I thought it might affect my career but nothing is more important than fighting for equality in this world.
I decided to Facebook message someone who was RACIST to me whilst at drama school. This is what I said to her as a young 19 year old at
@ALRADrama
so sad to think about how badly they failed us and still made her the victim.

So my Old High School have blocked me for simply asking them to allow a safe space for students who are POC not to mourn the Queen as for many people the royal family remind them of the brutality the British empire put millions of people through.
