Well what a year it’s been. This is my last newsletter of 2022\. All being well, I’ll be back early in January. Have a good and restful break, whatever you're doing.

Every year, following [Lesley Pinder's recommendation](https://twitter.com/Skipinder/status/1597594339936731136?s=20&t=WmvU3c9wEOgiWsVeFn-Bnw&ref=changeout.org), I fail to complete my [Year Compass](https://yearcompass.com/?ref=changeout.org). This year I'm going to do it. And now I've told you about it, I'm going to have to!

A few more reflections on the continuing fallout from the [Where are you really from?](https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/royal-family/ngozi-fulani-lady-susan-hussey-racism-row-b2241129.html?ref=changeout.org) incident at Buckingham Palace.

Isn't it wrong/racist that [Sistah Space](https://www.sistahspace.org/?ref=changeout.org) only cater for Black women? Twitter explainer thread from [Ava Vidal](https://twitter.com/thetwerkinggirl/status/1601552357535252480?s=46&t=%5F2XEuXIshJtrnpg4TrcMyA&ref=changeout.org). 

[What does where are you really from really mean](https://zoeamar.com/2022/12/09/what-where-are-you-really-from-really-means/?ref=changeout.org)? Great article from [Zoe Amar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoeamar/?ref=changeout.org).

[Ngozi Fulani’s real name is exactly what she says it is](https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/ngozi-fulani-lady-hussey-real-name-b2239996.html?ref=changeout.org).

If this whole sorry tale can't be taken as an opportunity for white people to learn and reflect then I really do despair. But I won't stop!
