PICK’N’MIX
Please join us in taking your hat off to producer, musician, writer and activist Chardine Taylor-Stone who recently made white LGBT people think long and hard about racism in our communities when she launched a petition calling for venues to stop giving a platform to Laquisha Jonz, a drag act who has been criticised for parodying women of colour for cheap laughs. As well as convincing venues including the RVT agree to stop booking Jonz, she also got many club promoters across London to sign up to an “anti-racism code of practice” that she drafted to make sure this kind of thing doesn’t happen again. Well done, Chardine.
