Every Statement Released After Prince William's Godmother Resigns Over Racism Allegation

Domestic abuse activist Ngozi Fulani was in attendance in support of Sistah Space. The organization is a “community-based non-profit initiative created to bridge the gap in domestic abuse services for African heritage women and girls.”

Ngozi took to Twitter to express what happened while she was there, and wrote out her interaction with the aide who has now resigned.

See the exact conversation, as dictated in the tweet above by Ngozi:
Lady SH: Where are you from?
Me: Sistah Space.
SH: No where do you come from?
Me: We’re based in Hackney.
SH: No, what part of Africa are YOU from?
Me: I don’t know, they didn’t leave any records.
SH: Well, you must know where you’re from, I spent time in France. Where are you from?
Me: Here, UK
SH: No, but what Nationality are you?
Me: I am born here and am British
SH: No, but where do you really come from, where do your people come from?
Me: ‘My people’, lady, what is this?
SH: Oh I can see I am going to have a challenge getting you to say where you’re from. When did you first come here?
Me: Lady! I am a British national, my parents came here in the 50′s when…
SH: Oh, I knew we’d get there in the end, you’re Caribbean!
Me: No lady, I am of African heritage, Caribbean descent and British
nationality.
SH: Oh so you’re from….
