Looking back at my very white childhood of the 1980s #BenjaminZephaniah is one of those people whose words cut right through and punctured a cosy world of ignorance. No idea where I first heard him but I certainly did.

This news has genuinely broken my heart. I remember going to see #BenjaminZephaniah at the @hayfestival.bsky.social as a young #poet.
I got to meet him afterwards. He was incredibly kind & gave me some great advice. I will treasure my signed copy of Gangsta Rap & that advice even more so now.

[...] We can all be #refugees
Nobody is safe,
All it takes is a mad leader
Or no rain to bring forth food,
We can all be refugees
We can all be told to go,
We can be hated by someone
For being someone. [...]
