This was a great collaboration with Richard Dushime.
I think it demonstrates how centring the most marginalised people is an approach that can work well in complex situations.

In this first of an occasional—and hopefully more regular—series of interviews for the British Fantasy Society, I chat with Nick Wells, Publisher and Creative Director of Flame Tree Publishing, and writer Shilpa Varma, about the award-winning indie publisher's new writer in residence programme, and about the importance of cross-border and cross-cultural storytelling.

I have so many stories of subtle racism and they just keep happening. I talk to non-white women and these stories keep on getting told.
I can't talk about them directly but I had heard of two experiences one in a university environment and one in a not-for-profit that are highly disappointing but not surprising or shocking at all.
This is why I wrote Not the Only One, to showcase that this happens ALL THE TIME.

Target has seen plummeting share prices and decreased footfall after consumers started to boycott the chain because of its backdown on diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Now, the church leader who has spearheaded the boycott has a new target: Dollar General. Jamal-Harrison Bryant, senior pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest, Georgia, says the low-cost chain has both rolled back its DEI initiatives and failed to invest in the Black and low-income communities that are the backbone of its customer base. This time, he's not calling for all customers to stay away from Dollar General, since because of the lack of infrastructure in rural communities it's sometimes the only place people can shop for certain items. Instead, he's proposing an electronic protest: Clog up phone lines and inboxes, and post on social media to pressure the company into reinstating its programs — and boycott the store if you can. Here's more from @USAToday.

I was also invited to speak around diversity, equity, and inclusion at one of the DEI practitioner forums.
I was giving them a broad overview of hello integrate diversity, equity, inclusion into the internship programs and other day-to-day activities.
That was free, that was online and that was Australian friendly time.
