First Holy Communion: Do Families Deserve Secular Alternatives to Religious Ceremonies? - 04/06/2026

That's absolutely what I'm saying.

Nigerian Anti-Racism Advocate Speaks Out After Loss of Another African Life on Dublin Streets - 03/06/2026
Q: Do you believe the issue lies within the Black community itself, or is it broader?
It is not an issue within the Black community alone; the problem reflects broader societal positioning and systemic factors that need targeted services and policy reforms, not blame on a particular group.
Nigerian Anti-Racism Advocate Speaks Out After Loss of Another African Life on Dublin Streets - 03/06/2026
Q: What would you like to see done to address these killings in Dublin?
I'd like the Department of Justice to sit with Black communities to map out what is happening, identify preventive measures, ensure prosecutions are clear and consistent, and implement programs that address root causes rather than just responding after tragedies.
