Well that is very interesting!
@amzy98. My take on it is I don’t wanna be suspicious / think she’s not being genuine by speaking up or when she is speaking about black issues. As I think as many people speak on issues the better.
Absolutely the more people that raise awareness & continue to do so about BLM issues the better. It’s just a shame that it seems like it was used for initial self promotion PR then forgotten about since the Summer, beyond a few populist retweets or likes. Note, Yewande didn’t feel the need to do a You Tube or jokey tik tok video about going to a BLM March- as she took it seriously & wasn’t there for self publicity. Amber hasn’t yet done anything more since. That’s why I was disappointed that Amber didn’t save any BLM information on her Instagram other than a few photos, as it could have continued to raise awareness now.
Amber has a great platform of 2.6m Instagram followers & hopefully in the future, she will utilise it more proactively - a simple way would be to do shout outs on her IG stories (& save the info) to help promote Black/ POC businesses in the UK - fashion, beauty, hair & nail salons, shops & Restaurants. Any help is much needed by all especially during this terrible pandemic. Plus could do this to help promote her favourite other Black / POC influencers on Instagram/ TiK Tok, authors, artists, films, DJs, musicians & most importantly Charities. Raising awareness in a positive way. (Unfortunately my current suspicions are warranted, I can not say why, as it will reveal who my friends are) Plus sadly, it shows her lack of any social responsibility / awareness by her spending the last 4 months of lockdown partying in luxury in Dubai ( a city notorious for its POC slave Labour & homophobic laws) with her drug dealer convict boyfriend. It’s a real shame, Amber hasn’t used her Winners popularity for more good or more wisely.
