Protect Afro-textured hair! Amend the UK Equality Act to include hair.

Emma Dabiri, the author of Don’t Touch My Hair, has just launched a petition to include afro-textured hair as a protected characteristic in the 2010 Equality act to essentially put a stop to natural hair discrimination in UK schools and workplaces.

Today’s Google Doodle celebrates Black British activist Olive Morris on what would have been her 68th birthday.

Morris is widely recognised as a prominent voice of leadership in the fight against discrimination in Great Britain during the 1970s.
Morris took a leadership role in the push toward justice across many areas of society, including fighting for racial equality, gender equality, and squatters’ rights. After heading protests and demonstrations, she helped to found the Brixton Black Women’s Group in 1973, one of Britain’s first networks for Black women. 🖤✊🏿 #rememberingolivemorris

Leap Of Dance Academy Nigeria. 🖤

FACTS ABOUT OUR PROGRAM.
Behind those fanciful in class beauty and costumes are lots and lots of backstage hard work. With very little or no resources our kids are training to be the best they can. This is not to bring down anyone but to show their high level of dedication and committments to our program. Who wouldn't be proud of them? What teacher wouldn't pray for students who shows/comes to class with so much desire to learn? Kids who are ready to dance with or without conditions. Imagine what more we could achieve if we have more?🙂
DMs for more information.

I’m shocked but SO happy to be Number 1 on this year’s #PridePowerList 🏳️‍🌈

I’d like to dedicate this moment to my Black LGBT friends who are no longer with us, as well as anyone still struggling to be themselves. Thank you for being a part of my journey ❤️
