Until a few years ago, I knew almost nothing about the experiences of fellow #BAME brothers, sisters and shems in the UK and Europe. Most people of color in US also unaware. Recent works by @johnypitts and @renireni have helped educate me and others
Recently, I’ve walked the streets of London, Paris, Lisbon, Berlin, Cologne, and Edinburgh and I’ve sought out #BAME communities in search of kinship. Like Latino communities in East LA or in the Navajo Nation, there’s a desire to be included in a narrative
So I think it’s time for #BAME journalists to form a new group to foster, promote and mentor journalists of color in Europe like in the US. I and other US journalists of color will do our part to make this happen. #journalism
The new group for #BAME journalists could hold annual conferences, create needed internships and fellowships, provide media outlets with a talent pipeline and train journalists to write books, engage and transform the narrative
I’ll be in London from Nov 24 to Nov 29 (skipping Thanksgiving in US) and would love to meet with any #BAME journalists ready to get started. As we say in the US, who’s down with La Causa??? @SuchandrikaC @kehinde_andrews @TVMarv @Jenn_Chowdhury @LatinosInLondon @johnypitts
And if I get to meet the wonderful @renireni all the better. Hope to also meet @parislees
My 2-year-old daughter is checking out my tread. She’s the great granddaughter of migrant farm workers and US civil rights leaders. She’s down. Are you? #BAMEjournalismpic.twitter.com/O4W8EwEevx
