Our event with Fawcett Society last month was incredible. We heard from experts in mental health, policing, and education, as well as a speech from our CEO, Timi Okuwa, and a presentation from Anita Acquaah and Lizzie V. on the findings of our report. Our report uncovered the experiences Black women face in public services and what changes need to happen to make them safe and protected in mental health, education, and policing public services.

Today is #BlackJoyFriday and we're celebrating Lewis Hamilton winning the British Grand Prix for a record ninth time 🏆 In the 945 days between his last win and this one, Hamilton said on Sunday, he had doubted himself: “The adversity we have gone through as a team and I have personally experienced,” he said, "the constant challenge, like we all have, to get out of bed every day and give it your best shot. So many times when you feel like your best shot is not good enough, and the disappointment sometimes you can feel. We live in a time when mental health is such a serious issue and I am not going to lie (and deny) that I have experienced that. #LewisHamilton #BritishGrandPrix #F1

Our CEO Timi Okuwa featured on the Byline Times podcast alongside Bishop Desmond Jadu, and Glenda Caesar to share powerful insights and stories of those affected by the Windrush scandal. Brought to the UK as British citizens, they worked tirelessly to rebuild Britain post-WWII, yet many were stripped of their rights under hostile immigration policies. Individuals like Glenda Caesar, who worked for over 20 years in the NHS, were unjustly terminated and left to fight for their basic rights. We will continue to hold the government accountable. The Windrush generation deserves justice, acknowledgement, and reconciliation. ✊🏽 #Windrush #Justice #Accountability #BritishCitizens Spotify podcasts: https://lnkd.in/dtUjYFQ7 Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/ddjs_GJT
