Thank you to those of you who personally reached out to me last week after Nazi fascists ran riot in the UK terrorising Muslims and POC.

I’ve had kind, thoughtful messages from white women from around the world who reached out and checked in on me.

Of course, as a white person it can be difficult to know what to say. Privilege can feel awkward. It may come with the feelings of guilt, perhaps shame, knowing you experience life very differently to someone else just because by pure luck you happen to be born in a certain body in a set of circumstances that you have no control over.

However by taking the simple act of sending a tiny message of support you display your humanity, deepen your relationship with others and makes them think that you care.

So thank you – I feel loved.

As I said last week I have my own Media Manifesto that many of you are already aware of:

1️⃣I continue to be committed to making the media a more inclusive place where wellness and personal development experts of ALL colours can share their stories.

2️⃣I continue to ONLY put forward journalists and media professionals in front of you in my programs who I have personally interviewed that I know are actively inclusive and do NOT use inflammatory language in their work.

3️⃣I will not pay or work with media professionals who speak disparagingly of POC or actively use inflammatory language in their work.

In the world of media where eyeballs and clicks are king, some journalists will undertake alter egos and write in a divisive tone purposely to get the clicks they need.

So whether you choose to work with me or not, it’s extremely important you research a media professional BEFORE you pitch or align your brand with them.

Know that when you work with me, I’m already your gatekeeper and vetoing professionals.

Trust works both ways.

Remember high quality journalists want trustworthy experts but you, as an expert, also deserve to align your work with a journalist who shares your values.

Never forget that – and that there millions of journos out there.

So move on if one doesn’t feel right.
