Ngozi Fulani, the head of a charity, resigned due to the abuse she received following her argument with Lady Susan Hussey about race.

A organization she started to aid Afro-Caribbean women experiencing domestic abuse, Ms. Fulani stated she is temporarily stepping down from her position as CEO.

We, the Sistah Space charity, have suffered as a direct result, she said on ITV’s Good Morning Britain (GMB).

“When you consider that this incident was supposed to be about violence against women and girls, the Palace hasn’t stepped in, even though I believe they could have.

‘So, what I’ve had to do, I’ve now temporarily stepped down as CEO of Sistah Space.

‘I’m announcing that now because the service users and the community can’t access us properly.

‘This whole thing has cost us a fortune because we had to pay our own PR to stop the press from coming up, it was horrible.’Ngozi Fulani slams latest Palace apology following Susan Hussey race row

The race row made headlines since last November, when Lady Susan, who was a close friend of the late Queen and is Prince William’s godmother, repeatedly asked Ms Fulani where she was ‘really from’.

Ms Fulani said she felt ‘violated’ after Lady Susan refused to accept her answer that she was British.

Lady Susan later apologised in person to Ms Fulani for the distress her comments had caused and resigned from her honorary role, but was reportedly seen back performing royal duties last month.

Ms Fulani said she and her family received ‘horrific online abuse’ from those who felt Lady Susan was being treated unfairly in the aftermath of going public with what happened.

She said: ‘Incidents like this not only cause emotional harm to those involved but do also have wider repercussions within the community.

‘I have experienced first-hand what happens when a black woman faces adversity and has to overcome additional barriers when trying to report it.’
