The CEO of Sistah Space issued a statement about the “emotional whirlwind” she has experienced following the racist questioning she experienced at a Buckingham Palace event.
Last week, Lady Hussey, a senior Buckingham Palace aide and the godmother to Prince William, apologised for “unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments” after repeatedly asking Fulani where she was “really” from at an event hosted by Camilla, the Queen Consort.Buckingham Palace aide Lady Susan Hussey has apologised and resigned after alleged racism towards Sistah Space founder Ngozi Fulani
She then provided a transcript of the conversation where Lady Hussey repeatedly asked her where she was from, despite Fulani telling her she was a British national.Fulani has now issued a statement saying: “The last week has been an extremely difficult time for us all at Sistah Space. My team, family and I have been put under immense pressure and received some horrific abuse via social media. Yet throughout this time I have been heartened by the huge amount of support we have received.
She added: “It has been an emotional whirlwind and we now wish to take the time to pause, reflect and learn from these events. Unfortunately, the events of the last week have taken the focus away from the day-to-day operations of Sistah Space and the work that we do, so it is crucial now that we are able to resume our work and put our focus on what is important, the people we support and help.
