Black women face some of the worst abuse on social media. That is a fact. So this man - with a following of almost half a million - decides to target four black women for … having successful careers. Riling the racists for clout and clicks really is *the* weirdest pastime.

Thank you VERY MUCH and love you for celebrating me @melissasigodo ❤️💛💚Becoming a TV reporter in Britain was a highlight of my lifelong journalistic career. I wasn't 'fired'. After 9 months the station did not renew my contract, saying I 'didn't fit in with the program'.

For Black History Month, I am celebrating Barbara Blake Hannah, 83, the 1st Black female TV presenter in ‘68. After 9 months, she was fired because racist viewers called in daily to say, ‘Get that n****r off our screens.’ She continued her career becoming an author & filmmaker

I guess I can change my X bio now 😅 Many people made this investigation possible so whilst there are 4 names on the plaque, the win represents collective efforts which went beyond the published stories. Thank you @HumanTraffFdn 🙏🏾 @Mellino @hajmedd @cboutaud & @MattChapmanUK 👏🏾

As of yesterday on National Poetry Day, I have received the honour of becoming Birminghams Poet Laureate ❤️ It is humbling to be chosen to represent the city that gave me so much, the city that has moulded me, I pray now that I am able to give back.

Once everyone shifts to this mindset, we’ll be better for it, as a society, diaspora and people.
