    Today #Barbados became the 75th Member of @wto Trade and Environmental Sustainability Structured Discussions (TESSD)- why? Because we are in midst of #ClimateCrisis & #Trade has to be part of contributing to adaptation & mitigation

    I’ve been followed in stores. I’ve been undermined at work. I’ve been underestimated. I’ve been racially abused. I’ve been invisible. I understand the anger & I have not been through 1/8 of what other black men & women endure all over the world. The revolution must be televised

    Meetings and conferences and negotiations and papers are important. But this tops the list. Family first. Mother & son
