Such a great evening, thoroughly enjoyed Marcus Ryder & Lenny Henry. Great to attend #BBLM book launch – excited to see it succeed over the next coming months.
Across the arts, Black British artists are making their voices heard. To mark the moment, Lenny Henry and Marcus Ryder have guest-edited the Saturday magazine’s culture section.

I am pleased to be part of the @RoyalLondonMutual & @Rankinphoto Lost for Words campaign. It is so important to allow people to normalise the conversation around death for those who are grieving

I've met London Fire Brigade & London FBU. I am reassured race played no part in their response to the Grenfell Tower fire. Learning about the conditions firefighters faced that night has been insightful, apologies for any upset caused. I'm confident how valued equality is to LFB & FBU
2/2 My call to them was to make Stephen Lawrence Day an international event. It is extremely inspiring to hear their ideas and opinions. Speaking to them fills me with such hope for the future.
