Got that ALCS payment 🙌🏾

The way baby girl spun that chair to the side for the profile?!?! Come on Miss Cesily! And Black people hyping Black children to show out will always be one of my favourite things lmao

Black women in the UK are still more likely to die in childbirth than their white counterparts. @samaralinton.com explores why—and what’s being done to improve outcomes

As a Black woman who hopes to bring new life into this world someday, I found writing this BMJ feature both challenging and insightful... and, at times, hopeful. I suspect you'll have a similar experience reading it www.bmj.com/content/388/...

I've started a Substack called Mirrors & Margins. open.substack.com/pub/samarali...

What the actual fuck

for a piece, I'm looking to speak to Muslim Covid-19 frontline workers (who are still doing a similar job now) -- taxi or delivery drivers, transport, healthcare, teachers, supermarkets. Especially keen to speak to people outside of London. DM me if this is you! #journorequest

Can someone explain why all these planes are crashing? Genuinely concerned 😭

Great news: the Super Bowl performer who raised the flags will not face charges.

This means he did his job 👍

My book has a cover and she’s just beautiful Published 8 May in the UK and 3 June in the US 🇬🇧 geni.us/WhenWeRuled 🇺🇸 www.simonandschuster.com/books/When-W...

Finally started a Substack but can't decide if I should restrict it to people I know (for accountability, writing feedback etc) or open it up to the masses...

Writers, if you ever wrote for the Shondaland magazine/website, I just found out that it's gone. So here's your reminder to always make clips when you publish. Off to dig up mine so I can fix the dead links on my website...

What are the mediocrities going to do when they find out that “DEI” isn’t their problem? I’m curious.

Love love love seeing how many times people have borrowed my books from the library It doesn't add up to much ££ but knowing that people are still engaging with my work is just 😍🥰

🎶Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of baseless allegations🎶 #TheTraitors

Just love how we all have all collectively forgotten that someone in this show is pretending to be Welsh #TheTraitors

say no more #TheTraitors

Outstanding commitment to a completely pointless exercise #thetraitors

this is the dumbest lie anyone has told on the show. I am obsessed with Charlotte. #Traitors #TheTraitors

Armani is a pure agent of chaos #TheTraitors

UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important. www.gov.uk/government/c...
