- A Giant Has Fallen. What Jesse Jackson Meant to the Diaspora
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 Burnout
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. - Landmark Ruling
A landmark employment tribunal ruling has exposed how racial stereotypes continue to shape perceptions in the workplace. Sandra Moody, a Black higher-level teaching assistant, was unfairly disciplined and dismissed after colleagues and pupils labelled her “intimidating” and accused her of having an “angry face.” The tribunal found these claims were rooted in the harmful “angry Black woman” trope, marking a significant victory against race and gender bias in UK schools. - Locked Out of the Purse Strings
Black women across the UK are leading charities on the frontlines of social need—tackling domestic abuse, mental health crises, food poverty, and community violence—often where the state has stepped back. Yet funding rarely reaches them. While large charities control most grants, grassroots organisations led by Black women are expected to do more with less, despite carrying risk, delivering results, and holding deep community trust. The work is being done; now the money must follow. - Love, legacy, and a line in the sand
In an era when the music industry often played it safe, David Bowie did anything but—both in love and in principle. From his trailblazing marriage to Iman to his fearless challenge of MTV over its lack of Black artists, Bowie quietly helped reshape culture, championing voices like Luther Vandross long before it was fashionable to do so. This is the story of how a “Bromley boy” broke boundaries—and why his legacy still matters.
