Black Men and Breast Cancer

By LATEST, LIFESTYLENo Comments

When we talk about breast cancer, most people picture women. But men — especially Black men — are also at risk. And too often, their stories go untold.
Black men face a higher risk of developing breast cancer yet are the least likely to know it. The silence around this issue isn’t just cultural — it’s costing lives.
In our latest feature, “Black Men and Breast Cancer: Breaking the Silence on a Hidden Battle,” we explore the racial disparities, the personal stories, and the urgent need for awareness in our communities.
It’s time to broaden the conversation — because breast cancer isn’t just a women’s issue. It’s a human one.

The Need for Black Pride in a Hostile Climate

By LATEST, SOCIAL JUSTICE, WORLD NEWSNo Comments

In a climate where flags wave not in unity but in division, our pride must speak louder than hate.
When “patriotism” becomes a weapon, when diversity is treated as a threat — it is time to stand firm in our power and our pride.
This Black History Month, we remember: we are not guests in this country — we are builders of its very foundation. Our ancestors laboured, our parents endured, and we continue to shape Britain with brilliance, courage, and grace.
Our pride is not defiance. It’s survival. It’s truth. It’s love for who we are and all we’ve given to this nation.

Screaming Silences

The System Was Not Designed to Save Us — It Was Designed to Survive Us

When Black men enter mental health services, they’re too often met not with care — but with control. This isn’t new. What’s new is that someone finally dared to name it, plainly.

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.

This is not a broken system. This is a system working exactly as it was built. And the truth?
We don’t need more “awareness.” We need accountability.

Read the full piece by Black Wall St Media below. Then share it. Talk about it. Break the silence.
