Actress Emma Dabiri HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers March 2024

Honestly cannot believe I’m going to be in conversation with Bernadette Devlin McAliskey this Friday 🤯 for a night of Black Irish revolutionary music, history song ! Here’s a clip of Bernadette in action in 1971. It’s from Firing Line on “The Irish Problem” including this piece cos of the odious patronising position of the conservative Roger Evans, listening to him literally made my blood boil is an important reminder of the attitude of the imperialist to the colonised. It’s also interesting because unlike todays discourse, even he recognises the parallels between conservatives liberals, and that the distinction lies instead between both of them leftists. Todays discourse on the other hand, consistently conflates the aims objectives of liberals leftists, when they are very very different propositions. Whether this obfuscation is intentional or not, it serves very well the purpose of obscuring the liberatory vision of leftist politics, confusing them instead with the status quo conserving priorities of liberals, and hoodwinking the people into believing there is no real alternative to the current shit show ! Anyway Friday night is gonna be 💥 Tickets in bio

Cover story @violetsimonofficial DISRUPTORS ISSUE ♥️ Being a disruptor means challenging the status quo and going against the grain in your sphere of life. What makes you a disruptor? What was the catalyst that prompted you to start challenging the status quo? From a young age I saw there was a gap between what was “official” and what was ‘true” and I often had a visceral reaction to injustice and hypocrisy. I saw the way the powerful controlled narratives, but power and corruption often go hand in hand, so often what we are told is the ‘right’ way or the ‘just’ way is often just the way that serves the best interests of the ruling classes, and is often morally bankrupt. I think it is an ability to recognise this and a willingness to challenge hegemonic thinking that makes one a disruptor What is your background and what was growing up like for you? What were some of the main challenges you faced and milestones you achieved growing up? How did those experiences influence the person you are today and the profession or vocation you do today? An avid reader from a young age, I turned to books to try and make sense of my experiences and started reading black history as a child. Funnily enough, while it was my isolation growing up in Ireland that in many ways set me in the direction of my studies – I moved to the UK after school to study history and African Studies at SOAS – it was also the fiercely anti imperialist tradition that runs through so much of Irish culture that shaped me too. As I got older, read more widely, as Ireland changed and I started to be able to rehabilitate my relationship with it, I started to see more and more the parallels between Black and Irish radical traditions and became increasingly drawn to politics of coalition. I believe that international solidarity against oppression and exploitation is the only way we might possibly overcome all of the injustices people face globally today. #happyinternationalwomensday ♥️

Solidarity is subversive!!! The threads that link black diaspora cultures Irish culture are strong, yet the Irish position as colonised & oppressed is also mediated through racialisation as white. How does that impact upon points of mutuality when “white” “black” are constructed categories purposefully engineered to serve numerous functions, one of which was to prevent the identification of shared interests existing between members of both groups. @macdarayeates thankyou so much for your vision in conceiving of and organising this powerful, beautiful, important evening. Leni Sloan thankyou for highlighting centralising the uniting importance of craic, of conversation, of music song in both cultures, in both freedom traditions. I dislike manufactured categories like “#blackjoy” which exist to try make legible under the logic of neoliberal market capitalism something that is more akin to a “flash of the spirit” that characteristic of black diaspora cultures to channel the divine to express it via various performative traditions. Similarly in Ireland there is an animating energy that comes though our cultural production that people struggle to categorise but is a wellspring of Irish creativity. Conversation with Bernadette Devin McAliskey was even more than I could have imagined. At only 15 mins we could only just get started (but we have plans to expand the conversation) who else in the world could speak of their direct experience of Irish freedom fighting, aligning so directly with the work of groups like the Black Panthers The Young Lords, we all listened transfixed as she described her 1969 tour of the US, her work with these groups, her horror anger at the Irish American establishment who could identify passionately with Irish oppression as they trampled on the backs of Black Americans, how she learned about feminism from black brown American women and of course the through line to today to Irish solidarity with Palestine. She’s also great craic bloody hilarious. Big up @dagogo_hart Christine Kinealy. @niamh.bury @cedric.watson_bijou.creole thankyou for your storytelling music. I’m now a huge fan of you both.
