VOICES OF WINDRUSH PRESENTS

It has been over a month since British national Andrew Frederick was found dead in his home in Grenada—and his family is still waiting for answers. With no arrests made, mounting concerns about delays in the investigation, and independent experts confirming foul play, this case raises urgent questions about accountability, justice, and the treatment of citizens abroad. The Frederick family is now speaking out, refusing to let silence become the final word. Read the full story and stand with the call for justice.

As we step into 2026, we carry the lessons of a year that tested us, inspired us, and reminded us of our collective strength. From cultural milestones to hard conversations, one truth remained constant: the resilience of the global Black community. This is about legacy, reflection, and moving forward with intention.

Who gets to belong is rarely a neutral question. It is shaped by power, enforced by institutions, and tested most sharply when ordinary people refuse to accept that some lives are worth less than others. From immigration raids to police encounters, the boundary between “us” and “them” is drawn and redrawn, often with devastating consequences. In January, in Minneapolis, that boundary cost Renée Nicole Good her life. In 1987, in Wolverhampton, it cost Clinton McCurbin his. Their stories unfold in different countries, under different authorities, yet they are bound by the same logic: that belonging can be conditional, policed, and withdrawn. This article traces how that logic travels—from the United States to Britain, from migrants to citizens, from symbols of national pride to acts of state violence—and asks what it reveals about who is allowed to be “from here,” and at what cost.

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.

A lie still runs the league. Jude Bellingham’s brilliance isn’t just redefining football—it’s exposing the racial narratives that continue to shape how Black excellence is seen, judged, and constrained. This isn’t just about sport. It’s about truth, power, and the cost of being unapologetically extraordinary.
