Yet another rather blatantly #Islamophobic example as to why #Diversity and #Inclusion falls foul of the logics of #representation under #WhiteSupremacy:

While I can understand admiring the artistry of this movie, it does seem so wrong for this & many other related reasons. A reminder of who still dominates Hollywood & media industries: they get to impose their stories on us.

Looking forward to taking part in this panel discussion with some intellectual heavyweights! I will share some insights from my research on racism, Islamophobia and the terrible impact on young people's identities. Thank you for the invitation Healing Justice Ldn and Dr Tarek Younis.

Riztest Review Under Paris (2024) Pass “Under Paris is akin to Moonfall: not sure if this is nonsensical trash, or an intractable, self aware work of genius. It’s a RizTest pass with Paris's River Police Officer Adil, but it's worth a watch just for to the unintended hilarity”

Big thanks to Remy Mohamed and the Greater London Authority (GLA) Muslim Staff Network for inviting me to present to over 100 of their colleagues today. A pleasure to speak about why Shaf & I set up The Riz Test #representation #TheRizTest #IAM2024 #IslamophobiaAwarenessMonth

I asked Grok to tell me a joke about Muslims, the results were… predictable. Me and Shereen Fernandez (& contributors) write about this topic and more in our forthcoming book Automating Islamophobia: The Future of AI and Muslims - preorder link to follow in the coming weeks!

We often get asked what The Riz Test is & why me & Dr Sadia Habib created it, so who better than our man Riz Ahmed to explain it himself. Proper G mA 👊🏽 We’re hard at work behind the scenes on some new research, podcast season 3, and some updated workshops
