BLM Blog - Andrea Ali

I'm a Greek White Christian female.

Born into a Christian name. 'Georgiou'
Married into a Muslim name. 'Ali'

I never had to explain my maiden name, although people are very interested in knowing my faith/religion since I married into a muslim name. Some out of pure interest, and some out of disgust.

As a Recruiter of 20 years I have seen businesses filter CVs based on names in front of my own eyes.
Obviously giving other excuses why the candidates are not suitable.
I challenged those businesses every single time.

I make sure not to do business with racists!

I was a White British girl with Welsh grandparents and grew up in a small, predominantly White town where it was not uncommon for me to be surrounded by people who were quite narrow minded.

Black Lives Matter. I am struggling to comprehend some comments made about the abhorrent murder of George Floyd. Black Lives Matter. I am struggling to comprehend some comments made about the abhorrent murder of George Floyd.
BLM Blog - Fiona Goldie

My biggest concern since George Floyd’s death and the rise of the Black Lives Matter protests, is that so many of us ‘white folks’ just do not understand the disparities that exist in our society. There is very little understanding of ‘white privilege’, especially among older generations.
