[...] 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. [...]

This is why I did not mind being awarded ‘#CILIP125’. I always struggle with the performative nature of the #library sector and the lack of true deconstruction of hegemonic ideas and organisational values. There are very few like #BenjaminZephaniah. May your influence continue 🖤🌹
