Black Lives Matter

written by
Erin Flock

 

BLACK LIVES MATTER.

 

In response to the recent Black Lives Matter movement, we as a company have taken time to step back, allow black voices to be heard and to listen. We are focusing on education for our whole team, and how we can take action. We feel it's important at this time and moving forward to use our platform to amplify black voices and be a part of the change we want to see. We can do more to be better allies to the black community and provoke change within our industry. With this in mind, we would like to make a start today by sharing some thoughts from our black models on the movement, spotlighting brilliant black-owned businesses our talent have founded and talking about some of their career highlights. It's time we start elevating those around us.

ANGIE HUNTER

Lifestyle Model, Angie very kindly shared with us this piece she wrote for her work colleagues recently: 

"Hi All,

I thought that I'd share a little of my feelings about the current situation in America. I'm funny, I think (my sons might beg to differ), charming, emotionally intelligent and caring. Oh and by the way I'm black. Born in Wolverhampton, I've always been in the minority... the only black family in our road, primary school, secondary school and working life for the most part. From an early age my siblings and I were always aware that our difference meant discrimination and fear!

I've felt fear about my colour and what this might mean for my safety. I'm going to highlight the ones that affected me. Firstly, I am old enough to remember the stop and search mentality of the Police (1980's) and how many black men in particular were targeted sometimes just because... Another during a career, where relying on your team really matters. But the incident that had the most impact on me was the death of Lee Rigby, the soldier stabbed to death in London in 2013 by two black men. It was the first time I really felt vulnerable about the possibility of revenge. I know this is a different situation to that which happened to George Floyd. But, I live in a suburb where different coloured faces are in the minority. I remember feeling really angry and hurt that Lee was taken from his family, that I'd be judged as feeling hatred towards white people and that within my community where I live I was no longer invisible and my being different was a real concern. Was it coincidence people crossed the road or appeared to be whispering?

There is never any justification for taking a life, black or white! My life has been full of positives and over the years I have met some amazing people and I like to think that my being black has had a positive impact in it's own way. This is a difficult time for everyone but I'd like to close with a thank you to all those who have taken the time to check in with me at work. Everyone's life matters.

Have you really taken the time to get to know your non-white colleagues? Start today."
