Blackfulla

Ant said ta me, 'If this is supposed ta be a dreamin festival, where are all the fuckin blackfullas?'

I didn't want a PhD where I did whatever it took to get me across the line because I was a blackfulla.

This blackfulla's driving a car. Copper stops 'im, says, “Did you know you were speeding?” Blackfulla says, “No.” His Missus goes, “Oh yeah you did, eh.” Cop says, “Did you know your tail lights aren't working? Guy says, "No". His missus says, "You did an' all, Dont you gammon to them coppers." Guy goes to his Missus, "Shut up!" Copper asks the Missus, "Does he always talk to you like that?" She goes, "Only when he's drunk!"

My response is always the same. You have to engage, you have to support and listen. You have to make your work a place where blackfullas will feel valued and safe.
