From Tina Turner to Beyoncé, MOBO has never just been an awards show — it’s been a movement. After decades of celebrating Black excellence and shaping British culture, MOBO is now putting down roots with the launch of the House of MOBO in South London. More than a pub, this vibrant new space is a home for creativity, community and connection, honouring a legacy built on resilience, vision and the power of culture to bring people together.
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.
Black women in leadership are redefining professional identity — using style as a declaration, a mirror, and a visual manifesto. From bold prints to natural hair, authenticity isn’t just personal — it’s political. Mandy Tucker shows how confidence and style can align with success, breaking old corporate codes and standing unapologetically in your power.

Baroness Rosalind Howells of St Davids (1931–2025)
A daughter of Grenada who became a pillar of justice in Britain.
From the parish of St Davids to the House of Lords, she carried her people’s hope and her island’s spirit into every space she entered.
A pioneer in race relations, education, and equality — and a steadfast supporter of the Lawrence family in their pursuit of justice for Stephen. Her life reminds us that progress is not born of comfort, but of courage.
Rest in Power, Baroness Howells.
Your light endures.

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.
