Nikita and Jamila Archibald - @WeAreBeautifulFaces Black Lives Matter

June 28, 2020 • Sophie • Season 1 • Episode 7

In this episode we are joined by Nikita and Jamila Archibald. Two sisters who grew up in Inverness, Scotland. Together, they have made the instagram page @wearebeautifulfaces.

Following the death of George Floyd, I knew I wanted to educate myself and do better as a privileged white woman. I came across their page and I loved the message they were trying to spread. They have created a safe space to share experiences based on race, sexuality, gender and mental health.

Reading others people's experiences and opinions has been massively educational for me and highlights that the issue of racial injustice is not just 'a problem in America'. I hope you can engage and empathise with these stories as much as I have.

Here is a list of the resources that were mentioned in the pod. This is in no way an exhaustive list but hopefully a good place to start:

https://www.standwithblacklives.com/ - a great website with lots of resources including a history of racism in Britain.
1Xtra Talks Special - George Floyd and Black Lives Matter (podcast)
Adulting - Systemic Racism in the UK with Adam Pugh and Africa Daley-Clarke (podcast)
The High Low - Anti-Racism Resources and An Author Special with Candice Brathwaite (podcast)
