After a pretty horrendous few weeks Melissa chose to let her feelings out and wrote poems about her experiences, she wanted to share with us.

Many readers will have had similar experiences in their life, perhaps untold stories of racism, possibly not been able to release it outwardly, forever internalised emotions of events that transpired in your community.

We provide a platform that helps you to have a voice, to share with others who have known, felt and suffered and still suffering effects of racism and with those who have not and never ever will have to experience such an event not being black.
