Last week, The founder of non-profit organization Sistah Space drew international attention after she detailed racist comments from a British royal aide while attending a Buckingham Palace reception on combatting violence against women hosted by Queen Consort Camilla.

Ngozi Fulani, [EN-GAZI FULANI] whose charity focuses on supporting women of African and Caribbean heritage affected by domestic violence, detailed her encounter with "Lady SH'' in a viral tweet about her experience that took place last week at an event to mark the international campaign, 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.

The royal aide is Lady Susan Hussey, godmother to Prince William and lady-in-waiting to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Fulani, a British national, said that Hussey asked her repeatedly where she was from after moving her locs to see her name badge, allegedly responding, "No, what part of Africa are you from?" when Fulani said her organization is based in the U.K., continuing to question Fulani when she insisted that she was British.

Hussey has since resigned from her royal role and offered "her profound apologies for the hurt caused," according to a statement from Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.

Because this conversation is all too familiar to black and brown people around the UK, we wanted to hear local thoughts on this situation. So Angelle caught up with Norwich based musician Maria Uzor about it.
