To be silent is to be complicit.
Black lives matter.
We have a platform, and we have a duty to our Black members, employees, creators and talent to speak up.
If you're pro black but homophobic you don't want equality you want privaledge -

Moved to tears last night, never thought we'd come this far so quickly. Really believe this is a God idea, really believe that this project will help bridge the gap so that young black boys in the UK, can become all that they can be. Pretty speechless.
Think I'm going to take a break from social media.
It's a shame that racism doesn't surprise me anymore.
p.s I love and always will love being black. ✊🏾
This year I've decided to put my health before work
Going for runs instead of sending that one last email
Paying for a PT instead of paying for network memberships
One of the best decisions I've ever made.
💪🏾
Beautiful people,
I'm looking for some remote admin support on a 3 month project i've got on... if you've got some spare time this and want to dive into a pretty cool God sized adventure please inbox me :)
Thank You! :D
Took my mum out for dinner tonight... Was the most honest conversation I've ever had with her... Was everything I needed...
Perfect love casts out all fear 🖤

I dunno how but re listening to "Mary did you know" has opened my mind to the fact that it is one of the most patronising, sexiest, man-splaning, borderline misogynistic hymns ever written. Of course Mary knew. KMT
Luke 1:47-55 🙄
The melody is nice tho 🤣👌🏾

Your intesection of intellect and cultural literary is so refreshing!

You already know about this, as we’ve been working on its plans behind the scenes for a while.
I think the times we are living in demonstrates further why things like this are needed. No, it's not the absolute antidote, but I do believe it is part of the solution. (1/5)
Last week I got to interview the legendary

We spoke about faith, politics, young people, the role of the church, her father's legacy and hopes for 2022

Her name is Condolla in the past I've called her 'Condolences' or 'Constellation' or 'Consula', 'Constition' or 'Condoleezza' but today i call her 'Conditional'.

So about this whole 'pray for you leaders' thing...I submit for your consideration that some may need to be prayed in and some needs to be prayed out 😊👀🙄🙌

Tonight i sat online with my brothers and closest friends to go through voicenotes, old papers and diary recordings of songs written across the last few years Yep. I think there's enough here for another album. Excited to see where these new songs will go When? Soon.😌
Today I became a Advisory Council Member of The Queen’s Foundation for the Ecumenical Education of Black Theology
Yep...pretty deep, I feel I need to nap
Today I'm taking 10 of some of the black majority churches greatest youth and young adult leaders on a mission trip to Brazil with Tearfund, so excited about what will come from this ♥️

You've probably heard the rumours 🤫👀 - we've been planning this quietly for a while. I think the times we are living in demonstrates further why things like this are so needed.

My mum, essentially a single parent started working nights as an NHS nurse to earn more money so she could pay for my extra tution. Few years later I would take her to the House of Lords where I was awarded as one of Britain's top 10 black students

A multiracial church must by definition have senior multicultural leadership, without such it only works to the extent that white people are comfortable.
