Notting Hill Carnival was never just a party. It was born from racism, shaped by migration and transformed into one of Britain’s most powerful expressions of Black Caribbean culture. But how old is Carnival really and who helped build it?
From Claudia Jones and the pioneering 1959 Caribbean Carnival to Edric and Pearl Connor’s cultural activism, the 1964 turning point and the emergence of the street Carnival, this is a story of resistance, creativity, identity and belonging.

Black parenting has long been judged without context, misunderstood as severity rather than seen as protection. But in a world where Black children are too often viewed through a harsher lens, discipline becomes something deeper than control. It becomes preparation. It becomes survival.
