When Oversight Falls SilentFebruary 23, 2026
Britain rarely announces regression. It administers it quietly. Across housing, policing, employment and public services, the institutions designed to confront discrimination are being thinned out, under-resourced, and politically restrained. Not abolished — just softened. This is a story about what happens when oversight falls silent, and why the cost of that silence will be paid by those with the least protection.
Ras Judah: The Elder Who Stood So We Could StandFebruary 21, 2026
Bristol has lost more than a community activist. It has lost a conscience. Ras Judah — born Judah Adunbi — stood at the crossroads of protest and purpose for more than four decades. From the fires of St Pauls in 1980 to the painful spotlight of 2017, he never stopped organising, mentoring, and holding institutions to account. This is not simply a tribute. It is a reminder of the standard he set — and the responsibility he leaves behind.
Radio Bimshire – Bajan to the BoneFebruary 21, 2026
As Barbados celebrates 60 years of independence, a quiet cultural revolution is unfolding—not in parliament, but in the voices of everyday Barbadians. Radio Bimshire, the National Library Service’s new digital archive, is preserving and sharing the island’s oral history, from elders’ memories to music, comedy, and Nation Language. Guided by veteran broadcaster Julius Gittens, the platform transforms scattered recordings into a living national soundscape, connecting generations at home and across the diaspora.
A Giant Has Fallen. What Jesse Jackson Meant to the DiasporaFebruary 21, 2026
The passing of Jesse Jackson is more than the loss of a towering figure in American politics. It marks the end of an era in global Black political imagination. For the African diaspora, Jackson was not simply a civil rights activist. He was a strategist, a negotiator and a bridge between movements. From his work with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to the founding of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, he expanded the meaning of civil rights into the realm of economic power, coalition politics and international solidarity. This is not an obituary rooted in nostalgia. It is a reflection on impact — and on what his legacy demands of the diaspora now.
Redefining Leadership Beyond BurnoutFebruary 21, 2026
Burnout is no longer a private struggle. It is a structural issue. Across the UK and beyond, leaders — particularly those from Global Majority backgrounds — are being asked to carry transformation, representation, and responsibility without the infrastructure to sustain them. HEAL Academy, delivered by TRIUMPH, was created in response to this reality. It reframes leadership through the lens of healing, accountability, and long-term sustainability. This isn’t leadership as performance. It’s leadership as practice.
