Colonisation: Uncovering the Legacies, Honouring the Stories

This space is dedicated to unpacking the far-reaching impact of colonisation, not just as a historical event but as a force that continues to shape our world today. Through personal stories, historical analysis, and cultural reflection, we explore how empires rose and fell, how borders were redrawn, and how identities were both erased and redefined.

Acknowledging our ancestors' different journeys. Exploring our connected Black histories and respecting our different cultures.

From Africa to the Caribbean, from the Americas to the Pacific, we dive into the complexities of resistance, survival, and resurgence. This category is a living archive of truth-telling, memory-keeping, and collective healing.
