Editor’s Letter May 2026May 10, 2026
Freedom of speech has always sounded simple in theory — but who really has the freedom to speak without consequence? This month, we examine the true cost of having a voice across the Black diaspora, from code switching and economic power to censorship, accountability and resistance. A thought-provoking reflection on who is heard, who is protected, and who pays the price for speaking out. Read the full article now.
Black Parenting: Discipline as ProtectionApril 5, 2026
They call it harsh. They rarely call it what it is. 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. In the wake of events on Clapham High Street, the question of parenting has once again taken centre stage. But before we ask where the parents are, perhaps we should ask what they are up against. This piece explores the truth behind Black parenting, the tension between protection and perception, and the shift towards healing in a world that still demands resilience.
Editor’s Letter April 2026April 5, 2026
We need to talk about the truth behind being overqualified and underpaid. As we step into a new financial year, the same uncomfortable question keeps resurfacing: Who really benefits from our labour—and at what cost? From pay gaps to invisible work, from limited representation to the constant pressure to prove ourselves, the economics of being Black is lived every day. This month’s Editor’s Letter breaks it down with honesty, evidence, and urgency. Read on, because naming the truth is the first step to changing it.

It was a night of legacy, star power and cultural pride as the MOBO Awards marked an incredible 30 years with a landmark celebration in Manchester. Bringing together global icons like Pharrell Williams, Estelle and Tiwa Savage, the milestone event proved why the MOBOs remain a cornerstone of Black music and culture. At the heart of it all was Estelle’s powerful homecoming, a full-circle moment that perfectly captured the spirit of an evening dedicated not just to honouring the past, but shaping the future.
