Met the lovely @catherinepowell in NYC for @nkdmag 💫 Thank you for including me in your June issue and letting me wax lyrical about acting, life & Siren whilst reppin’ the @weareallwindrush campaign t-shirt 🙏🏽 • • Available now at: http://www.nkdmag.com/issue-84-june-2018/ • • • #nyc #interview #actress #weareallwindrush #siren
My mother and I have started a @weareallwindrush T-Shirt campaign to raise awareness and funds for the people of the Windrush Generation in the UK whose lives have been turned upside down by the recent immigration scandal. Our campaign aims to stand up for the kind of society we believe in- one that is inclusive, diverse and celebrates all those who are a part of it. 💫 Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. 🙏🏽 To join us, buy your T-shirt and post a pic online using #weareallwindrush Tees are available from our website (link in bio) All profits from tee sales go to the Windrush Justice Fund. •••••• Info: 2018 marks the 70th Anniversary of the arrival of the Empire Windrush ship to Britain from the Caribbean. The British Nationality Act 1948 gave British citizenship to all people living in Commonwealth countries. The people who arrived here in the 50s and 60s, after being invited by the British government, have become an intrinsic part of British society: paying taxes, rebuilding the country and making countless contributions to Britain and who we are as a culture. Now, after decades living and working here, some members of the “Windrush Generation” are being threatened with deportation. The government’s hostile immigration policies, carelessness and culture of exclusivity and othering is having devastating effects: people have lost their jobs, lost their homes, their access to healthcare has been restricted, they have been separated from their families and have been caused huge amounts of emotional distress. •••••••• #windrush #tshirt #motheranddaughter #justice #fundraiser #actress #anthropologist #solidarity #weareallwindrush

This amazing book ‘Don’t Touch My Hair’ by @emmadabiri dives to deep, unexpected and necessary places. A fierce, witty, and enlightening piece of work that pierced my heart and mind. A must read. @oursharedshelf #hair #emmadabiri #donttouchmyhair #book
When I was little I had a collage on my bedroom door. The door was covered in beautiful images ripped from the pages of top magazines like Vogue. I loved my collage and I loved the faces of the women I had chosen to glue to my door. One day, my mother lovingly mentioned to me that my collage, which covered the entire door, featured no faces that looked like mine. No mixed-race faces, in fact, no shades of brown or black faces at all. In that moment I realized the power of imagery. The power of the images we are feeding ourselves & the next generation. Magazines are one of the many vehicles we have in our society for delivering powerful, influential images. For many years I would flick through these pages & hardly ever see the array of beauty I see when I go out into the world. We cannot underestimate the subtle impact it has on a person’s sense of self- worth rarely seeing themselves or the range of humanity reflected back to them from mainstream society. —————- So, here’s to @edward_enninful – who in his first year of becoming Editor in Chief @britishvogue has already made a commitment, not just with words, but with actual action, to change & to a future we can all be a part of. In the magazine’s 102 year history @badgalriri is the 1st black woman to be on the all important September issue cover. This past year I have already seen on his covers: @adwoaaboah @gugumbatharaw @oprah @halima @adutakech @palomija @radhikaofficial @mulan_bae @selenaforrest Here’s to the collages of the future! 🙌🏻🙌🏾🙌🏽🙌🏿🙌🏼 It is not about shutting anyone out now – it is just about opening the door as wide as it can go. Long may this expansive inclusion continue & grow. 🙌🏻🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏿 ・・・ The subscriber’s cover of @edward_enninful first ever @britishvogue September issue, starring @badgalriri shot by @nick_knight. Rihanna is the first black woman to cover @britishvogue’s September issue in our 102 year history. Rihanna Rules! @badgalriri wears a @loewe dress, hair by @yusefhairnyc, make-up by @isamayaffrench using @fentybeauty, floral artistry by @azumamakoto, nails by @jennynails and set design by @tomotattle #beauty #magazine #vogue #diversity #rihanna

🙌🏽🙌🏼🙌🏻🙌🏾🙌🏿 Thank you to everyone who has been supporting the @weareallwindrush campaign! This is heart warming to me! ❤️ ——————— These are some of the many faces of optimism about the kind of Britain we believe in: a society that is diverse, democratic, inclusive and celebratory of all that are part of it 🇬🇧 ——————– Despite the shadow cast over #Windrush celebrations by the disgraceful treatment of the #WindrushGeneration by the government, the support for the #weareallwindrush campaign shows the rest of the UK how to commemorate and celebrate the invaluable contributions of migrants to all that makes Britain Great 🇬🇧 ———————– Thank you to everyone who has bought a t-shirt so far. Thank you for posting your photos. Let’s keep the momentum going – keep raising funds, keep raising awareness and keep holding the government to account. Happy #WindrushDay 🙌🏿🙌🏾🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏻 More pictures of solidarity to come! —————————– #solidarity #collage #british #britain #tshirts #fridayfeeling #friday #cantstopwontstop #proud #getupstandup #thankyou #theirhistoryisourhistory #theirfutureisourfuture #standtogether #movement #socialjustice #celebrate
