A landmark study published in PLOS Mental Health breaks decades of silence. Co-produced with those most affected, it reveals a damning reality:
Black men are over three times more likely to be detained under the Mental Health Act.
Their culture is misunderstood, their spirituality pathologised, their voices ignored.

Othello: A Timeless Exploration of Jealousy, Racism, and Ambition - A life lived beyond the limits of representation
Bonnie Greer was never simply a writer, playwright or broadcaster. She was a cultural force who refused to be confined by the expectations placed on Black women in public life. From Chicago to Britain, from theatre and literature to television and institutional leadership, she built a life defined by intellect, independence and an unapologetic right to occupy space.
