- The Crown in the Ledger: What Finding Britain’s Slave Traders Asked Us to Face
What happens when Britain’s history is no longer told through monuments, wealth and institutions, but through the ledger behind them? Finding Britain’s Slave Traders with David Olusoga brings names, companies, royal connections and fortunes into focus, forcing us to confront how deeply the transatlantic slave trade was embedded in British society.

Othello: A Timeless Exploration of Jealousy, Racism, and Ambition - A life lived beyond the limits of representation

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.

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. The Carnival was born more than once. And the people who helped build it deserve to be remembered.
