For an emphatically intelligent and entirely uncensored conversation about Diddy - complete with people who worked with and know him - join us at @UppityHQ on Tuesday 15th July at Rich Mix in Shoreditch.
Join us for The Trial of Eurocentric Beauty Ideals. Tuesday 15th July at @RichMixLondon in Shoreditch. Details: eventbrite.com/e/uppity-the-i…
From a media perspective, we will also explore: Why is the Diddy Trial huge news, but the much more serious (potential) trial of EU royalty Étienne Davignon (for his role in the assassination of Patrice Lumumba) - a mere footnote? For @UppityHQ details and tickets:…
Capitalism & entertainment. Gender. Race. Law. Drug addiction. Sex work. Abuse. Domestic violence. The ramifications of the Diddy Trial are serious & extensive. @UppityHQ on 15.07.25, a singer, a psychologist, a barrister and a record executive address everything. #DiddyTrial
Full information and tickets can be acquired here: eventbrite.com/e/uppity-the-i…
Next Tuesday at @UppityHQ: The Trial of Eurocentric Beauty Ideals. Peak desirabilty or peak danger? You decide. Defence and prosecution speakers to be announced shortly. See you in Shoreditch on the 15th July. Tix below.
Regardless of the verdict, the Diddy trial marks an enormous culture shifting moment. Join us at @UppityHQ (at Rich Mix in Shoreditch) on the 15th of July for: 'Diddy, the man who was'.
