International Women’s Day: The Diaspora Women Who Carry the World on Their ShouldersMarch 8, 2026
On International Women’s Day we celebrate the achievements of women around the world. Yet across the African and Caribbean diaspora, women have long been leading, building and transforming communities often without recognition.

Editor’s Letter March 2026February 28, 2026
February did not whisper, it exposed. From the BAFTA stage to global politics, from representation to real power, this month forced uncomfortable conversations into the open.

If you care about power, equity, and the responsibility of independent Black media, this is a reflection you won’t want to miss.

In this latest review, Paloma Lacy revisits The Good Front Room to discover whether the chef’s bold mission to elevate Caribbean cuisine still holds its magic.

When Inclusion and Impact Collide at the BAFTAsFebruary 28, 2026
By Dr Diahanne Rhiney, Editor in Chief, Black Wall St Media It was meant to be a night of celebration at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts — a polished tribute to craft, creativity and cultural progress. Instead, the 2026 BAFTAs left many viewers sitting with an altogether different emotion: disbelief. During a ceremony broadcast by the BBC, a racial slur rang out while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo stood on stage. The context, we later learned, was complex. The impact was not. In this piece, Dr Diahanne Rhiney examines what happens when commitments to inclusion collide — when disability, race, editing decisions and institutional responsibility converge under the brightest lights. This is not a call for outrage. It is a call for competence, care and courage. Because representation without protection is not progress. And when harm is foreseeable, silence is not neutrality — it is a choice.
