Use your Platform Positively! #UPP

We are constantly bombarded by millions of gossip stories on who’s dating who and then who’s breaking up, who’s fighting each other, who’s taking drugs, who’s richer, who’s lost their money, which politicians and business owner are corrupt and so forth. We are spoilt for choice when it comes to websites discussing gossip. But why aren’t we given a choice of websites that inform us of those using their platform positively, using their positions of influence to help in the fight against social injustices in the world, particularly injustices involving people of colour. So this blog page aims to do just that! We will highlight people using their Platform Positively #UPP, those getting involved in activism and raising awareness, particularly those speaking out about the growing animosity towards people of colour, the killings of people of colour and the structural and institutional racism across the globe. We will share stories and profiles we come across of people #UPP and also practical ways we as a community can encourage more people with the platforms to #UPP and do more. Let us know if you have a story or know people who are #UPP and we will be happy to share and promote it Peace, Love & Positivity, UPP Team
