I am one of a handful Black harpists in the UK. I am currently playing on a 27 string Celtic harp, but I now need a harp with more range.
I'd like this one but can't afford it; maybe someone will see this and gift it to me!

There remains a 4x difference in maternal mortality rates amongst women from Black ethnic backgrounds and a 2x difference amongst women from Asian ethnic backgrounds compared to white women, emphasising the need for a continued focus on action to address these disparities.

It's rare that we hear of the impact that the legacy of enslavement has on Black women - this is a necessary conversation that needs to be had.

Another example of the deeply inherent racist embedded in our police force. @jqjasonkew have you seen this?

Tim Westwood is not a legend, he's a nonce. The only reason he's been protected and been allowed to have his career is because a)his victims were black girls and b)he's white ergo an acceptable face to present black music and culture

I've been talking about this for 10 weeks. I literally feel like I'm fighting fires. Every. Day.
We're exhausted.
