As we step into May, a month of renewal and reflection, I’m taking a moment to look back on some powerful moments from April. From global solidarity with Burkina Faso, to spotlighting Black excellence at the Football Black List, to the urgent issues raised during Black Maternal Health Week—these stories remind us of the strength in our shared experiences across the Black diaspora.
In this roundup, I also reflect on the Leigh Day Immigration Summit, the impact of stress and inequality during Stress Awareness Month, and the need for real change in maternity care for Black women in the UK.
There’s so much to learn, feel, and act on. Read, reflect, and let’s move forward together.
