Who bears the burden of change?--The Clout Cocaine Epidemic

"It's so frustrating for people to downplay my experience, act like I'm overreacting, blame me for having that experience and just be mad at me for not being okay"--Jemmar

In this interview, I have the pleasure of speaking with activist, Bafta winner--Yes BAFTA WINNER--and documentarian Jemmar Samuels. Jemmar and I have been friends since 2015, and she is someone who has long since influenced my writing, politics and my own understanding of race.
Through our conversation, we explore; Black British Twitter and it's take on colourism, Jemmar's own experiences as a Black woman, the puritanical expectation of a Black female activist, and having to put in the work for social justice even when members of your own community oppose it.
