I finally managed to visit the incredibly powerful National Museum of African American History & Culture ( @nmaahc ) in Washington DC today. It was the most moving museum experience I’ve ever had. I’m already planning my next trip, if you’re in D.C. you absolutely must visit.

🇪🇺 A fruitful week in Brussels, filled with enriching discussions with MEPs, EU Commission officials, and ground-breaking think tanks. A special nod to my dear friend @Fouad_Ahidar , President of the Brussels Parliament. Amidst his busy schedule, he keeps the atmosphere buoyant

I was honoured to have reconnected with renowned scholar Sheikh @omarsuleiman504 , over the weekend. Not in the corridors of power but in a community hall in Manor Park, East London, a stone's throw away from where I grew up. His accomplishments speak volumes - leading the US
