Last year was challenging for so many reasons, i felt overwhelmed at times, many people did. I feel thankful that we enter this year together, you and me,my crew. I don’t post often, don’t give you many updates on my world but when i do, you still show love and for that i am appreciative. Staying relevant and in demand is only possible because of you, that’s the truth. @gregwilliamsphotography took this pic of me a couple years back at Cannes film festival, it was a happy time, i share it with because it made smile and i hope it does the same for you. I appreciate you all.🙏🏾
Today I’m calling on the Government for change.
Each set of clothes laid represents a life lost to serious youth violence.
Serious youth violence is rising across the country, meaning that hundreds of promising lives are being cut short. Everyday, the feeling of helplessness in us parents grows bigger and bigger.
The Government promised to ban zombie knives and machetes, we need this promise delivered.
We’re also calling for a new coalition to end knife crime.
It’s time for change – IE

Over the years, I’ve met with countless families who have been impacted by these senseless acts of violence, hearing their heart-breaking stories has lit a fire inside me to make sure this issue is taken seriously by those that have the power to solve it.

Yesterday I met with the Home Secretary, James Cleverly and the Leader of the Opposition, Keir Starmer, and Shadow Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper. I was joined by members of the communities most impacted by knife crime, and those working tirelessly to put an end to this violence. It was clear from both meetings that there is appetite from across the political spectrum to work to put an end to this. It’s encouraging that they were all open to ideas and collaboration and we are hopeful for what lies ahead. Through this campaign, we will also continue to hold them all to account and make sure we get action, not just words.
Today’s announcement from the Home Secretary that new legislation will be introduced to ban zombie knives and machetes is a significant step in the right direction. We need to ensure no loopholes can be exploited, and we will keep pushing for all dangerous weapons to be covered by the ban. It has taken too long to get here, so we must now make sure we get it right.
It’s essential that the ban is introduced as quickly as the Parliamentary process allows, and we won’t be afraid to speak up if we feel that isn’t happening. This is also just the start of the huge amount of work that needs to be done to get to grips with the root causes of serious youth violence.
We all need to be laser-focused on addressing the long-term causes of serious youth violence and to give young people a reason not to pick up a knife in the first place. We know that this won’t happen overnight and will require long-term, sustained efforts and critical thinking from every part of society. We will be there every step of the way and will do whatever we can to help stop young people from needlessly losing their lives to knife crime.
As well as this ban, we need to properly invest in youth services, to give our young people the hope and opportunities they deserve. We need a Coalition to End Knife Crime to improve dialogue and collaboration between the services with a role to play in tackling this issue. And we need to bring young people and tech companies properly into the conversation.
We owe it to our young people to do everything we can to help keep them safe.

Watch from afar. @skepta @odumodublvck 🔥🔥
This time last week we were about to launch our #dontstopyourfuture campaign to highlight the pressing issue of rising knife crime affecting youth across England. The hope was to spark momentum and critical thinking around this. A week later, as we collect data, we feel a rise in conversations, people want to contribute opinions and strategies…This is a good thing. We have heard from all walks of life including Government,young people,parents and charities. There has been praise and criticism, tears and triumph. In any case, there is movement, this issue isn’t going away quickly and we don’t expect results overnight. Thank you for reading, visit @dsyfofficial.
