Ever noticed how our stories get retold, repackaged and “rediscovered” like they’re brand new? 🖤
The conversation around Black British identity is having a moment right now, but let’s be clear: it isn’t a new conversation. We’ve been having it for generations, around kitchen tables, in community halls, in classrooms that didn’t have the language for it yet.
It’s no coincidence that so many of us wrestle with what it means to be both Black and British while living in a country that still struggles to acknowledge the impact Black history has had on shaping it. When we go looking for that connection to our roots, we often hit a wall, whether that’s a curriculum that left us out, archives that are hard to reach, or stories that were never passed down because no one thought they mattered.
They matter. Black history is British history, and it doesn’t belong in one month. It belongs in every month, every classroom and every conversation. ✨
The more we share, the more we reclaim. And the more we reclaim, the more we leave behind for the generations who come after us, so they never have to wonder whether they belong in the story.

This #FunFactFriday, we’re remembering a young woman who proved you don’t need a long life to leave a lasting mark.
At 17, Olive Morris saw a Nigerian diplomat being stopped by police in Brixton and refused to look the other way. She stepped in, and her fight for justice began there.
In her short life of just 27 years, she squatted 121 Railton Road, a hub for Black radical politics in Brixton. She co-founded the Brixton Black Women’s Group, helped launch OWAAD, and set up the Manchester Black Women’s Co-operative, all while studying at the University of Manchester.
Today her name lives on in Brixton through Olive Morris House, the Olive Morris Collection at Lambeth Archives, and even a Brixton Pound note. 🖤

Jazz was born from hardship, and it turned that hardship into power. 🎷✊🏾
Rooted in the experience of Black communities after slavery, jazz carried grief and joy in the same breath. It was a way to speak, to heal, and to push back. Artists like Billie Holiday and voices like Terence Blanchard remind us that the music has always been tied to lived truth.
Yet the story doesn’t end there. As the genre spread, credit and acceptance often shifted toward white musicians, and even sounds like jungle, which grew out of the Windrush generation, have been reframed and detached from their origins.
So why are these histories barely touched in the classroom? Understanding where our music comes from shouldn’t be optional. It’s part of understanding who built it and why.
📚 Swipe through, share this with someone, and ask what your own school or university teaches about Black music history.
🖼️ Visit exhibitions and galleries that honour Black musicians and keep the conversation going.

We took the mic to the streets and asked: what preserving culture means? 🎤
Culture isn’t just something in a textbook. It’s in the music we grew up on, the faith we carry, the places our families come from and the way we show up for each other. 🌍
Some of the answers might surprise you. Watch to the end and tell us what your answer would be 👇🏾
Culture, heritage and Black history are all around us. This is us making space to talk about it, one conversation at a time. 💛

Our Young Champions work on a grassroots level to implement Black History in schools and everyday life. It is so much more than what we usually learn in school, and there are so many stories, people and contributions that are missing or underrepresented in the curriculum.
The Black Curriculum works to address this gap by advocating for a curriculum that reflects the diversity of Britain and gives young people the opportunity to learn about Black British history throughout the year, not just during Black History Month.
Want to learn more, get involved and help make Black British history part of the conversation?

This #MondayMotivation, we honour Olive Morris, a fearless activist whose fight against racism, sexism, and inequality continues to inspire generations. She dedicated her life to uplifting communities, championing justice, and creating spaces where marginalized voices could be heard.
Her story reminds us that courage is not the absence of challenges, but the determination to stand up for what is right, even when the odds are stacked against you. Real change begins when we refuse to stay silent and choose to make a difference where we are.
As we step into a new week, let Olive Morris's legacy inspire us to lead with purpose, stand firm in our values, and uplift those around us. 💫

A fearless advocate, community leader and trailblazer in British politics, Bernie Grant dedicated his life to creating space for underrepresented voices and challenging systems that stood in the way of equality. As one of the first Black MPs elected to the UK Parliament, he helped pave the way for greater representation and political participation for future generations.
Born in Georgetown, Guyana, and later making his mark in the UK, Bernie was known for his unwavering commitment to social justice, workers' rights and community empowerment. He also became the first Black leader of a local council in Britain when he led Haringey Council in 1985.
Beyond politics, he championed the preservation of Black history and culture, supported initiatives focused on racial equality, and co-founded the African Reparations Movement, ensuring important conversations around justice and accountability remained part of the public discourse.
His legacy lives on through the leaders, activists and communities he inspired to stand proudly in their identity and strive for meaningful change.
This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honour a pioneer whose courage, conviction and commitment to justice continue to resonate today. 🖤✨

The World Cup didn’t just give us football. It gave millions of people a reason to look up a map.
From Japan’s goalkeeper toCape Verde’s legendary World Cup goal, a record 10 African teams and players of African descent from every continent took the stage.
Who did you learn about this summer?
Because ignorance is no longer an option.

Born in Georgetown, British Guiana (now Guyana) in 1944, Bernie Grant became one of the most influential Black figures in modern British politics.
From becoming Europe’s first Black local council leader in Haringey in 1985 to being elected as one of the first Black MPs in the House of Commons in 1987, Grant broke barriers and challenged institutional racism throughout his career. His legacy extended beyond Parliament through his work for racial equality, workers’ rights, reparations and greater Black representation in public life.
Politically and within his community, Grant championed the rights of Black and ethnic minority communities, supported better conditions for workers and helped bring issues of historical justice into wider political debate. His commitment to developing future leaders continues today through the Bernie Grant Leadership Programme.

Mon 19 Oct: Climate, land and food with Udoka Maya Okonkwo
From Hurricane Melissa to this record-breaking, relentless summer, how are Black Brits responding to the climate crisis? Food insecurity and environmental racism are real. In a country that heavily contributes to the destruction of our home and families in the Global South, what can we do now?
Mon 26 Oct: Identity and elderhood with Annabelle Woghiren.
We’ll be exploring Black British identity, culture and the crossroads we face. What does it mean to be in community? What does elderhood look like? How do we build more nurturing initiations from adolescence into adulthood?
