Being BAME, I feel privileged to learn about race without being subject to racism. But I will actively denounce racism and promise to be an active bystander.

I am hurting deeply right now by how we were, are, and continually treated. I am hurting by the racism that continues to existf If you are in the same pain then you are not alone.

I will continue calling out racism and educating myself about the experience of black people and other discriminated minority groups.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

Black lives matter does not mean that only black lives matter or that black lives matter more. It means that right now, black people need everyone's support to stop the systematic racism that black people continue to face.

I will listen and observe. I will strive to better understand how the structures we live and work in impact on my BAME colleagues, both inside and outside of work and I will work hard to be part of the solution.

I thought that being a white woman, who has loved and supported partners when racially motivated incidents took place was enough - I was so wrong. There is much more that I can do to combat race inequalities than simply being a shoulder to cry on.

Why can't we all just live in peace? We don't feed from each other homes, we don't spend from each others bank accounts, we don't sleep on each others bed, we don't wear each others clothes so why hate and feel the need to be a better race and watch on while others are suffering? WHY? Why can't we all do the right thing and support each other? When actually the air we breathe is the same air for every human being, the blood that flows within us is the same colour for all. And again we all die the same death, when death comes knocking on your door you don't get privileged, you don't say to death 'you know I'm White please give me that privilege to live and not die'. Death and sickness does not see colour this only shows how we are all the same in different flesh. Arise my people and speak truth to power when you see racism. Don't be a happy spectator enough is enough these people have suffered too long let's change our mind set. Don't disenfranchise someone behind closed doors for the simple reason that they look different and you hate them for that, be that ANGEL who makes sure they are given equal opportunities. Racism has always been an unspoken pandemic now is time to fight it together and yes we can 💝.

Thank you to all those  at King's who continue to hold their white colleagues accountable, for sharing your lives and trauma with us, for teaching us and for dealing with the impacts of our failures whilst we take time to unlearn and grow. We see your tireless efforts to make improvements.

I will continue to call out racism when I see it, I will use every opportunity I hold to challenge the power structures I exist in and benefit from.

We must remember that racism isn't an American issue, it happens all over the world, in the UK and in our university. I want to be a better ally in future, challenging overt and casual racism where I see it and improving structures and systems so they are truly inclusive. We must do better

"Perhaps things will get worse and then better. Perhaps there's a small god up in heaven readying herself for us. Another world is not only possible, she's on her way. Maybe many of us won't be here to greet her, but on a quiet day, if I listen very carefully, I can hear her breathing" - Arundhati Roy

I’d like to see communities (places of worship, schools and work places etc) demonstrate equality in all...lives matter no matter what we are all human we are all born the same way but not always with privilege...it’s how you better your life and community that makes change...our world and governments are full of inequality but we as individuals can make a difference 💛
