Reflecting on a remarkable Black History Month, Black Wall St Media was aglow with a myriad of specials, spotlighting stories from every corner of the diaspora. From forgotten tales to groundbreaking exclusives, this month was a celebration of culture, identity, and history. Dive into the narratives of unsung heroes like the Mandingo Muslims of Trinidad, the resilient Ira Frederick Aldridge, historical icon Ivan Van Sertima, and the inspirational Richard G. Stokes. Exclusive interviews with Commander Dr. Alison Heydari and change-maker Kim Carter provided unparalleled insights. Explore the impactful Tea and a Chat with Lee Chamber, a tireless advocate for inclusivity. Bask in the narratives of Alex Pascall, Richard Roundtree, Charlie Phillips, and Tom Jenkins, each weaving a captivating thread in the tapestry of Black history. As Black History Month concludes, our commitment to celebrating Black excellence and achievement persists year-round. Join us in continuing the celebration of diverse narratives and everyday Black stories.
“Double rum and Coke please,” is a phrase heard in every London bar and pub every night of the week. The rich, spicy, treacly and sometimes fruity spirit is a popular drink, but its traditions go far deeper – they evoke a spirit of community, connection and heritage that is inherent in Caribbean culture.
