My first published academic paper centring disability is out today. Written after becoming disabled in 2022 and now using a wheelchair. Open access: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #DisabilityRights #Feminism

This book offers a lived, analytically grounded account of non-academic women’s experiences in UK higher education, foregrounding structural exclusion and the racialised, gendered, and colourist hierarchies that shape institutional life. #HigherEdWork #GenderAndRace #UKHigherEducation #Colourism

This paper grew out of a symposium last year and is now published. It asks what decolonising inclusion in higher education would actually require in practice. (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...) #HigherEd #Decolonial

Just published a new essay on Access Refusal . This idea emerged from the realities of chronic illness and lived experience. I hope it resonates with others navigating loneliness open.substack.com/pub/drabbiem... #DisabilityJustice #AccessRefusal #ChronicIllness #CareWork #BlackFeministThought

Been thinking about how Britishness is talked about today not just in politics but in everyday language. In 2026, ideas once coded are now spoken plainly. Does national identity have to be conditional? 👉 drabbiemuchecheti.substack.com/p/who-is-bri... #Britishness, #Identity, #Citizenship #Politics

“Don’t apologise for being white” isn’t about innocence, it’s about reframing discomfort as persecution. Full essay: 👇 drabbiemuchecheti.substack.com/p/like-they-... #RaceAndPower #Whiteness #HistoricalRecord #PublicHistory #Justice #Accountability #TruthTelling

When sexual abuse becomes a political weapon, women and girls disappear from the story. This essay rejects the racialised and partisan framing of violence. 🔗 drabbiemuchecheti.substack.com/p/when-abuse... #NotAPoliticalWeapon #WomenAndGirls #EndSexualViolence #endgirlsandwomenexploitation

I’m tired of the manufactured hate toward disabled people the lies about “luxury cars,” the attacks on ADHD, the yearly reassessments for conditions that will never change. This is hate Read here: open.substack.com/pub/drabbiem... #StopDisabilityHate #DisabilitySolidarity #DisabledLivesMatter

Funny how the script never changes: Say something harmful, deny it later, blame youth or “banter,” and somehow claim you’re the real victim. #BanterIsNotAnExcuse #WordsHaveImpact #DoBetter #NotAnApology #VictimhoodPerformance

When politicians turn a national budget into a racial story, it tells you everything about their real agenda. Farage’s “Somalian with 10 children” remark wasn’t about welfare, it was about who Britain imagines as undeserving. Cheap politics. Dangerous narratives. drabbiemuchecheti.substack.com

Britain didn’t suddenly become racist it simply became honest. If you’ve ever felt the atmosphere shift but couldn’t name it, this will resonate. Read it here:https://drabbiemuchecheti.substack.com/p/britain-didnt-become-racist-it-became?r=2o48sb #BritainToday #RaceAndReality #BlackBritishVoices
