I am an African American woman based in London, and I meet people from
all over the world. Many of us are facing similar difficulties and
challenges. We have a shared history as African people and we have a
great deal we can learn from each other.
In my More Black Success free ebooks and the What U Need to Know radio show which I used to co-present, our emphasis is on networking internationally as people of African heritage.

Historically, Black people have been taught to hate and mistrust each
other as a way of controlling us. We need to overcome these barriers. We
are all African people.
We are much stronger and more effective when we work together, for our common interests as African people.

Gratitude - Cancer Journals |
Cancer Journal 6: What Are Angels? - I've been doing a lot of work with angels and I am finding this highly beneficial - even though I'm not sure what angels even are.

590 Black Deaths in Police Custody
![]() |
Marcia Rigg Protest about the Death of Sean Rigg, London |
According
to this article, 590 Black people in the UK have died in police
custody.
This article fails to mention that some of
the 500 people killed by the police, with impunity, were women. Some
were disabled. Some were probably both.
Call their names: Cynthia Jarrett, Joy Gardner.
Also,
Cherry Groce was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life
after being shot by the police in London.
This
post appears to be pitting disadvantaged groups against each other.
We need to stand together. I am Black, a woman and disabled. I have
a problem with the way this site has posed the question, “If it was
590 women or 590 wheelchair users, would there be a national
outcry?”.
All
deaths in police custody need to be highlighted, awareness needs to
be raised, but racism is something that affects Black people in every
area of our lives, whether or not we are women or disabled. We need
to keep highlighting this.
These are just some of the many reasons why I am hosting the Blogging Carnival for Nonviolence 2015.

Injustice Film on Deaths in Police Custody |
Listen below to my blog on Protecting Our Communities.
One of the challenges we are facing at present is the killing of Black people by the police and the authorities.
This is just one of the reasons why I wrote What They Don't Want Us to Know along with some of my other books. We need to find effective methods to address these problems.

Your Silence Will Not Protect You

Alice Walker |
And remember what Audre Lorde said: "Your silence will not protect you. My silence will not protect me".
