I’m seeing a lot of comments implying that because she finished uni wearing a short skirt, she’s been having sex. This is a branch off the rape culture tree: the idea that a skirt can determine whether she’s having or would *want* to have sex. This is part of the problem.
Trying to explain to older relatives that weddings are not the same as they were back in their day is really something. You can’t just rock up on the day, there is a seating plan 😭
Keisha Da Sket being commercially published through Merky Books, Hoil Boys having a show on No Signal, black brands collaborated with black-owned platforms, events, venues, all that. We *need* it
I’m very certain Kaz was on the date for the whole episode so Faye could redeem herself as Liberty’s shoulder to cry on. I really really hate what the producers are trying to do
When we got love island, ex on the beach, celebs go dating, the show where people fell through the floor + all the other variations of dating game shows — did people have this same energy of being sick of dating topics or does that only relate to shows w/ a black cast?

I think it’s naive to assume a room where people can share juicy name-and-shame stories about bad experiences with MUAs is supposed to be a place for learning/growth/healthy criticism. Like let’s not pretend here lol
@staybalanced_
That part! I’m not buying it at alllllll. MBJ has a story following him about not liking BW, and Lori has a story following her about being this savage bachelorette that runs through men. It’s giving Bridgeton energy
BV is very common + normal lol. There’s actually no issue w/ her posting this considering the context of her TT + I think it’s weirder it being brought to another platform to shame her for it
I think the close proximity of the UK always means comments/critiques around events like the GUAP Gala and its attendees feel super personal. Sometimes it’s not that, it just feels worse cus of how small the Black UK community is.
“Why don’t you dream of getting a regular job”
“Cus dad those dreams are taken”
“By who”
“By society and them”
“Who’s them”
“Those”
“Who’s those”
“They”
“Where”
“IN THE BACK” 😂
Between relaxing edges so they ‘lay’ or talking excessively (or maybe at all?) about shrinkage, I think a lot of us are dodging the not-so-nice facts about the relationships we have w/ our hair
She’s built her page on being open + candid about her life inc. love + health, and she’s created a proper safe space on tt to do so — if it’s not for you, surely we can mind our own business?
If you could go on a date and were allowed to ask only ONE question to let you know if you’d see the person again what would it be?
Think outside the box and don’t make it generic.

’s daughter, which she hasn’t authorised to be shared. In addition the story is completely untrue + emotionally traumatising for the ONLY parent involved in Anais’ life.
What’s an irrational fear you have?
Mine is someone planting drugs in my bag at an airport. I always double check my bag before I take it through security 😖🥺
An award show launches for the first time ever at NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, that’s huge? Proud and congratulatory will be the loudest opinions I have. Will I naturally look at outfits and have thoughts? Of course lol. Both things can exist at the same time.

, beware of a woman named ‘Sara’ listing a beautiful home in the Alvor/Ferragudo area. Her phone number is +44 7535 450840, and she’s forwarding a FAKE (but very believable) TripAdvisor link that seeks to take your ££.
I thought I never used to care about this, but it’s a very wild thing for someone who *supposedly* cares about you to be friends w/ someone that’s seriously violated you
My friends know there’s a handful of people I don’t fuck with. There is not many, so for you to friend any of them people up, straight write off. Enjoy that friendship.
I’d cried to my parents about some boy that used to pick on me whenever i went off-licence, so one day my dad followed me in his car + when the boy pulled up, my dad threw him into the back of his car and drove him to the police station
This is such a great question. To start with: I’d want a holiday home in a hot country, a flat in the city and a large home in the outskirts of London — maybe by the river. I’d want two cars, a coupe and a SUV, a dog and all my clothes purchased from slow fashion brands.
Maybe I’m overly sensitive but I hate how problematic, overly entitled yt women have been reduced to a caricature. Let’s not downplay how dangerous these people have proven themselves to be.
October is
#BlackHistoryMonth
. From recommendations for books, films and podcasts, to colleague stories from our Black Professionals Forum, join us as we celebrate throughout the month.
This was a great opportunity to plug websites/platforms like blelp, hairadvisor etc. There are already platforms that exist to collect reviews. Using a clickbait-titled room under the guise of tough love or an opportunity for MUAs/stylists to improve is crazy to me
@instagram
MULTIPLE people have reported an Instagram page containing inappropriate content of a SEVEN year old child, and this is the response. I feel sick to my stomach. What is the point in creating a report feature if the content isn’t even going to get reviewed properly?
