"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.
