As June unfolds, I’m pausing to reflect on a powerful May—a month that stirred deep emotion, challenged us to confront hard truths, and reminded us of the strength we carry as a community. From honouring our mental health to reclaiming forgotten histories, last month revealed just how vital our stories are.
“As Women’s History Month comes to a close, I’m reflecting on the power of true sisterhood, the work still left to do, and the voices that deserve more than just a moment.

From celebrating Black excellence at the Grammys to honoring the legacies of music legends Roberta Flack and Gwen McCrae, this month has been filled with inspiration and remembrance. I also explored the incredible work of the Black Leadership Group UK, the resilience of Paralympian Anne Wafula Strike, and the complexities of life for Black women over 50.
