BLACK MINDS MATTER UK X SIMONE YASMIN- BLACK HISTORY MONTH COLLABORATION
To celebrate Black History month this year, we at Black Minds Matter UK have collaborated with inspiring artists to showcase the intersection between Black history and mental health. Each creator has chosen a piece of their work which is rooted in history or their own mental health experience- highlighting the significance that Black history or culture has on their lived experience today.
Simone Yasmin (she/her) is a Black writer and spoken word artist born and based in Leeds. Both her written and vocal work raises awareness for issues many choose to ignore in order to sit in comfort. The intersection of race and feminism is central to Simone’s work. She uses her own experiences as a Black Woman as a catalyst for this; outlining that her interlocking identities cannot be separated or extracted.
The words on the T-shirt within this collection are from the opening of Simone Yasmin’s poem ‘Grey Area’, written in August 2020 after she had finally processed the horrific events of June 2020. The words she has selected for this piece initially celebrate the big dreams Black children have, but these dreams are so often diluted and lost to the systemic racism rife in society. In a world which constantly tells Black children to shrink themselves, dreaming is everything. Against all odds, Simone hopes Black children not only continue to dream in colour, but live in colour, beyond the grey area.
All profits made from this campaign go towards providing access to mental health resources for Black people in the UK.
