Mary Raftopoulos is 32 and started This is Impt during lockdown as a way to help highlight the racism we face everyday in the UK. She wanted to continue the conversation that the Black Lives Matter movement started and the discussion about racism in the UK. She collects stories from black women and men for publication because she believes the more we talk about racism and share our stories the more people will realise the severity of it. Speaking up and being vulnerable is something she has always shied away from on social media but she hopes these conversations help people understand the Black British experience. Mary is also an Editor at The C Word Magazine.
