About me

Acknowledging that I’m no expert is the first step on my journey of self-discovery and education. I'm not yet at the point where I can call myself a social-justice warrior and activist, but best believe I’ll get there.

For now, I start by proudly reclaiming the role of the angry black woman . A multitude of emotions accompany this which I will explore, but until the world can accept the fact we have many reasons to be angry, they will never be able to see past that anger and understand our point of view.

To try and briefly summarise myself up:

• I am a PROUD first-generation immigrant, I've lived in the UK since I was a child
• I am still being raised (as much as I'd hate to admit) by a strong, wise,  beautiful single mother to whom I dedicate my life to 
• I rock my natural hair - Build your assumptions so I can deconstruct them later
• I'm dyslexic, though I found out about a year ago

DISCLAIMER!

This is a personal blog, my new therapy. If you find an element of healing or gain a better understanding of an aspect of my experience as a young black woman then my work will be complete.
