#black women are superior
Black Mixed fishing
I don’t want to spend too much time on this “hot” topic. So here are my thoughts on the mixed fishing phenomena…
1. I’ve noticed that average looking non-richly melanated women, who dont meet the conventional beauty standards i.e. slim, blonde and white, tend to partake in mixed-fishing shenanigans. In an attempt to appear more “desirable”, they use cosmetics, non-invasive/invasive surgery to alter their natural average features with hopes of looking : racially ambiguous, exotic, or of mixed heritage… because in “urban” culture such looks are considered beautiful.
2. If you are blessed to be an offspring of two Black parents, you shouldn’t feel offended or disappointed by this nonsense, because these white women aren’t contributing to our dehumanisation or erasure. If anything, their actions are negatively impacting mixed women.
3. Accordingly, Black women I urge you to put down your capes, and let mixed women and the ignorant self hating black men (who worship white/mixed women) fight this battle…it isn’t any of our beautiful black business.
Stay blessed and highly favoured Queens

There’s a shortage of female talent in the industry, especially Black women
Side note - I’m featured on Imperial College London’s #BlackToTheFuture segment.
My advice for Black students struggling to bring their whole selves into their professional lives is to know your worth and be willing to walk away if others don’t appreciate what you bring to the table. Always advocate for yourself and your community. If you don’t, who will? Lastly, don’t put too much pressure on yourself to become a ‘model Black student’. Instead, focus on being real. Your authenticity and unapologetic nature are what counts - not approval, appreciation, or applause from others.
